Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (8 ounces each) sirloin steak
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 medium, finely chopped shallot
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 0.5 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon, finely chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon, finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Season the sirloin steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let them rest at room temperature for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sirloin steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or additional time based on desired doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and tent them with foil to keep warm.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the shallot and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the shallot is softened and fragrant.
Pour in the red wine and beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and gather the browned bits. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-6 minutes until reduced by about half.
Stir in the thyme and rosemary, allowing the herbs to infuse into the sauce for about 1 minute.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly stir this into the simmering sauce and cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed. Remove from heat.
Slice the steak against the grain and serve with the herbed wine sauce drizzled generously over the top. Pair with your favorite side dishes.
