Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. In a large skillet add 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, onion, and garlic on medium heat.
  3. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until translucent.
  4. Whisk in salt, oregano, black pepper, and tomato paste and cook for 30 seconds.
  5. Add in wine and beef broth and bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes until the sauce is reduced by half.
  6. Turn off heat, strain the sauce to a fine-mesh strainer and add it back to a clean saucepan.
  7. Add in remaining 2 tablespoons butter and whisk until smooth (cover to keep warm, but do not cook on high heat or sauce will over-reduce).
  8. Add remaining 2 tablespoons unsalted butter to a now cleaned skillet (just bigger than your steaks) on high heat.
  9. Season steaks all over with salt and pepper.
  10. Sear the steaks on each side for 3 minutes until browned.
  11. Place in the oven for 4 minutes (for rare, 5-6 for medium or more for well done).
  12. Let rest for 10 minutes, covered with a sheet of foil, before serving with red wine sauce.
