Prep Time5 mins
Cook Time25 mins
Total Time30 mins

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 pounds T-bone steak

Instructions :

For the Sauce
1)In a big sauté pan, warm up the butter. Add salt and shallots. 3 minutes of medium-high heat cooking will soften the shallots.
2) Put the wine in. 5 minutes of simmering over medium-high heat.
3) Add the beef broth and thyme. Simmer for 10–15 minutes at a medium-high temperature to reduce the sauce
by half.
4) Add the marrow and season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
5)The sauce should be turned off the heat.
For the Steak
1) A cast iron skillet or grill should be heated very hot. Depending on the thickness of the steak, cook it for 3 to
5 minutes or until it reaches the appropriate degree of doneness. (A nice medium steak will need 3-5 minutes
on each side.)
2)Before adding the sauce and serving, remove the steak from the pan and allow it to rest for five minutes.
