1.5-inch thick ribeye steak

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 1 cup dry red wine
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

    • Preparation:

    1. Season the Steak: Generously season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper.
    2. Sear the Steak: Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side, or until a deep crust forms.
    3. Create the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and shallot. Sauté until fragrant.
    4. Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
    5. Simmer the Sauce: Add the beef broth, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the sauce thickens.
    6. Finish the Steak: Transfer the seared steak to a preheated oven (400°F/200°C) and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes for medium-rare.
    7. Plate and Serve: Place the steak on a serving platter and spoon the rich, flavorful sauce over it. Garnish with fresh parsley.
