Preparation Process:
1. Prepare the Steak:
Remove the steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Season the steak generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on all sides.
2. Sear the Steak:
Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast-iron pan over high heat.

3. Create the Pan Sauce:
While the steak rests, add the butter, thyme, garlic, and shallot to the same pan. Sauté until fragrant.
Deglaze the pan with red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Add beef broth, soy sauce, honey, and rice wine vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the sauce thickens.
To thicken the sauce further, whisk in the cornstarch slurry and cook until desired consistency.
4. Plate and Serve:
Slice the steak and arrange on a serving platter.
Drizzle the rich, flavorful pan sauce over the steak.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or truffle fries.
Total Time: Approximately 30 minutes
