Instructions
- Step 1: Remove 2 ribeye steaks from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to reach room temperature. Season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper.
- Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add steaks and sear for 4 minutes without moving, then flip and sear another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare. Remove steaks and tent with foil to rest.
- Step 3: In the same skillet, add 2 tbsp butter. Once melted, add 1 small minced shallot, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 8 oz sliced cremini mushrooms. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until mushrooms are browned and fragrant.
- Step 4: Stir in 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, then pour in 1/4 cup dry red wine. Simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Step 5: Add 1/2 cup beef broth and cook for another 3-4 minutes until ragout thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
