Instructions
-
Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature. This ensures more even cooking.
-
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
-
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
-
Carefully place the ribeye steaks in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your desired level of doneness. Use a pair of tongs to flip the steaks only once during cooking.
-
Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the skillet and transfer them to a plate. Tent the plate loosely with aluminum foil to keep the steaks warm while you prepare the sauce.
-
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Pour in the Cabernet Sauvignon wine and beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
-
Allow the sauce to simmer and reduce by about half, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes.
-
Once the sauce has reduced, stir in the butter until melted and fully incorporated. This will help to thicken and enrich the sauce.
-
If using, sprinkle in the fresh thyme leaves and season the sauce with additional salt and pepper to taste.
-
Return the cooked ribeye steaks to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top.
-
Let the steaks warm through in the sauce for about 1-2 minutes.
-
Serve the pan-seared ribeye steaks hot, accompanied by the Cabernet Sauvignon sauce spooned over the top.
-
This dish pairs wonderfully with a glass of French Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon wine. Enjoy your meal!
