Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the unsalted butter and olive oil. Once the butter is melted and shimmering, add the sliced mushrooms in a single layer if possible. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are deeply browned and have released their liquid, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Pour in the dry red wine, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze and release any browned bits (fond). Bring the wine to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes, allowing some of the alcohol to cook off.

Stir in the beef broth, fresh thyme sprigs, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Uncover the skillet and increase the heat to medium. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced and thickened slightly, about 5 to 7 minutes. The mushrooms should be tender and coated in a rich, glossy sauce.
