Vampire Steak with Blood-Red Wine Reduction Sauce
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 vampire steaks (ribeye or sirloin)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup blood-red wine
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
- Season the vampire steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the steaks to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired level of doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the blood-red wine and beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon.
- Simmer the sauce for 5-7 minutes until it has reduced by half and thickened slightly.
- Stir in the butter and thyme leaves, and continue to simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is glossy and coats the back of a spoon.
- Return the steaks to the skillet, turning them to coat in the sauce, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm through.
- Transfer the steaks to a serving platter, spoon the blood-red wine reduction sauce over the top, and serve immediately.
