Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp salted butter
  • 2 shallots, minced (about ½ c)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 c red wine (preferably Bordeaux)
  • 1 tsp thyme, dry
  • 1 c beef broth (we prefer low sodium)
  • 1 Tbsp beef bone marrow * (see Roasted Beef Bone Marrow recipe below)
  • 1 lb T-Bone steak

Instructions

For the Sauce
    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat butter in a large sauté pan. Add shallots and salt. Sauté over medium heat until the shallots are soft, 3 min.
  2. Add the wine. Simmer over medium-high heat for 5 min.
  3. Add the thyme and beef broth. Simmer over medium high heat until the sauce has reduced by half 10-15 min.
  4. Stir in the marrow and season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Remove the sauce from the heat.
For the Steak
  1. Heat a cast iron skillet or grill over high heat. Cook the steak for 3-5 minutes (depending on the steak’s thickness) until your desired doneness is reached. (3-5 minutes per side will give you a good medium steak.)
  2. Remove the steak from the pan and let rest for 5 minutes before topping with the sauce and serving.

Notes

  • *If you can't find bone marrow (or a marrow bone), or just really don't want to (and, we don't blame you in the slightest), simple add an additional 1 Tbsp of butter to the sauce to finish. This will add richness to the sauce, the way the marrow would.
