Ingredients

• 2 pieces (12 oz each) ribeye steak
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves (smashed) garlic
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 3 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1 cup dry red wine
• 1 cup beef stock
• 1 tablespoon heavy cream
• 1 large (finely chopped) shallot

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Season both sides of the steaks generously with kosher salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.

Step 4

Sear the steaks in the hot skillet for 3-4 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms. Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter, smashed garlic cloves, rosemary, and thyme to the pan.

Step 5

Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks continuously with the melted butter and aromatics for 2-3 minutes, or until the steaks reach your desired doneness (125°F for medium-rare, 135°F for medium).

Step 6

Remove the steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a plate. Tent loosely with foil and let them rest while you prepare the sauce.

Step 7

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the finely chopped shallot. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 8

Deglaze the pan by pouring in the red wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Allow the wine to simmer and reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 9

Once reduced, stir in the beef stock and let the mixture simmer for another 4-5 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 10

Finish the sauce by lowering the heat to low and stirring in the heavy cream. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

Plate the rested steaks and spoon the red wine reduction sauce over the top.

Step 12

Serve immediately, paired with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or your favorite side dish.
