Ingredients

• 2 pieces ribeye steaks
• 2 tablespoons coarse black pepper
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 piece shallot, finely chopped
• 1 cup dry red wine (such as Cabernet Sauvignon)
• 0.5 cup beef broth
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme sprigs
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Sprinkle both sides of the steaks evenly with coarse black pepper and kosher salt. Press the seasonings gently into the meat.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.

Step 4

Add the steaks to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Use tongs to hold the edges against the skillet for about 20 seconds to sear the fat. Move the steaks to a plate and let them rest under tented foil.

Step 5

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and butter. Once the butter is melted, stir in the minced garlic and chopped shallot. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and softened.

Step 6

Pour the red wine into the skillet to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 7

Add the beef broth and thyme sprigs to the skillet. Simmer for another 5 minutes until the liquid is reduced by about half.

Step 8

Remove the thyme sprigs and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for 1 minute, then taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

To serve, place each steak on a plate and spoon the wine sauce generously over the top. Pair with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
