- Put a grill pan on a medium-high heat. When it's hot enough, place meat on a grill and sear it for 2 minutes from all sides.

For Red Wine Sauce
- Heat olive oil in a small sauce pan and over medium heat. Sauté onions until translucent and slightly browned. Add wine and thyme. Bring to a boil and cook on a high heat until reduced by half.
- Reduce the heat to medium low, add butter and flour and whisk constantly until thickens, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve with a steak!
Notes
- I took the steak out of the oven at 140 F. At this temperature you'll have a medium rare steak.
- If you want medium or well done steak, continue cooking it in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 155 F or 165 F accordingly.
