Ingredients

• 2 pieces (8 oz each) boneless ribeye steaks
• 2 tablespoons coarse black pepper
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 pieces garlic cloves (crushed)
• 3 pieces fresh thyme sprigs
• 1 piece shallot (minced)
• 1 cup dry red wine
• 1 cup low-sodium beef stock
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.

Step 2

Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel. Rub kosher salt and coarse black pepper evenly on both sides of the steaks, pressing gently to ensure the seasoning adheres.

Step 3

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Step 4

Carefully place the steaks in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust the cooking time based on desired doneness.

Step 5

In the last minute of cooking, add unsalted butter, crushed garlic, and thyme sprigs to the skillet. Tilt the skillet slightly and, using a spoon, baste the steaks with the melted butter and aromatics.

Step 6

Remove the steaks from the skillet and let rest on a plate, covered loosely with foil.

Step 7

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced shallot. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until softened.

Step 8

Deglaze the skillet by adding the dry red wine. Scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Let the wine reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 9

Pour in the beef stock and continue to cook for 5 minutes, allowing the mixture to reduce slightly.

Step 10

Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 11

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the sauce to thicken it. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 12

Strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl for a smooth finish, if desired.

Step 13

Serve the steaks hot, drizzled generously with the gourmet steak sauce, and garnish with extra thyme, if desired.
