Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, optional garnish
Instructions
Remove the flank steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature.
Pat the steak dry using paper towels and season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the flank steak in the hot pan. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the time to your preferred doneness.
Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board, loosely tented with foil.
Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the butter.
Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Deglaze the pan by pouring in the red wine. Scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to incorporate their flavor.
Add the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly.
Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain and arrange on a serving platter.
Spoon the garlic wine sauce generously over the steak slices. Garnish with fresh thyme, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful meal!
