Instructions

  1. Step 1: Season 12 oz ribeye steak with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper on both sides.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then sear steak for 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, turning once.

  4. Step 4: Deglaze with 1/2 cup red wine and 1/4 cup beef broth, scraping up browned bits, then simmer for 5 minutes until reduced by half. Stir in 1 tbsp fresh rosemary and 2 tbsp butter until melted and glossy.
  5. Step 5: Slice steak and drizzle with the warm sauce before serving.
