Preparation Process:
Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes (including marinating time)
1. Marinate the Steak:
Combine olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, and rosemary in a small bowl.
Rub the marinade generously all over the steak, ensuring even coverage.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
2. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
3. Sear the Steak:
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat.
Add the marinated steak and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, or until a deep, crusty sear develops.
4. Roast the Steak:
Transfer the seared steak to a roasting pan and place it in the preheated oven.
Roast for 10-15 minutes for medium-rare, or longer for your desired level of doneness.
5. Prepare the Pan Sauce:
While the steak is roasting, melt the butter in the same skillet used for searing.
Add the minced garlic and shallot, sautéing until fragrant.
Deglaze the pan with red wine, scraping up any browned bits.
Add beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and honey.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the sauce thickens.
6. Serve:
Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
Pour the pan sauce over the sliced steak and garnish with fresh parsley.
