Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 8 oz each) Ribeye steaks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Shallots, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Beaujolais wine
- 0.25 cup Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
Instructions
Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking.
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the steaks to the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness, or 5-6 minutes per side for medium. Adjust the time based on your preferred level of doneness.
Remove the steaks from the pan and transfer them to a cutting board. Tent loosely with aluminum foil and let rest while you prepare the sauce.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
Stir in the chopped shallots and garlic, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and softened but not browned.
Deglaze the pan by pouring in the Beaujolais wine, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the beef broth, thyme sprigs, and sugar to the pan. Continue simmering for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the thyme sprigs and stir in the butter, one tablespoon at a time, to create a rich and glossy sauce. Adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed.
Slice the rested steaks against the grain and arrange them on plates. Spoon the Beaujolais sauce generously over the steaks.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted potatoes or steamed green beans.
