Ingredients
- 4 boneless ribeye chops (6 oz each) beef chops
- 2 small, finely diced shallots
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 tbsp, chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tsp, dried thyme
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup red wine
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Season beef chops with salt and pepper. In a bowl, mix shallots, garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, and butter to form a paste. Press the mixture onto both sides of the chops.
- Step 2: Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until browned, then transfer to oven. Roast for 8-10 minutes until internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
- Step 3: In the same skillet, deglaze with red wine, scraping up browned bits. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced by half. Stir in parsley and season with salt. Serve sauce alongside chops.
