Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat 2 ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking. Sear steaks for 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even contact.
  3. Step 3: Reduce heat to medium. Add 2 tbsp butter, 3 rosemary sprigs, and 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Baste steaks with melted butter for 1 minute until fragrant and butter is bubbling.
  4. Step 4: Remove steaks from skillet and let rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes. Pour off excess fat, leaving 1 tbsp in skillet.
  5. Step 5: Add 1/2 cup red wine and 1/2 cup beef stock to the skillet. Scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon and simmer for 5 minutes until reduced by half and sauce coats the back of a spoon.
  6. Step 6: Strain sauce into a bowl, discarding solids. Slice steaks against the grain and serve immediately with warm pan sauce spooned over top.
