Ingredients:

• 2 bone-in ribeye or sirloin steaks (1 to 1.5 inches thick)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary
• 1 cup red wine (choose a robust red like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Season:

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Season the steaks generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

2. Sear the Steaks:

   • In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over high heat.
   • Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust.

3. Add Aromatics:

   • Lower the heat to medium, add minced garlic and rosemary to the skillet.
   • Spoon the aromatic mixture over the steaks while they continue to cook.

4. Red Wine Reduction:

   • Pour in the red wine, allowing it to deglaze the pan.
   • Simmer for a few minutes, letting the wine reduce by half.

5. Finish in the Oven:

   • Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast the steaks to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, this typically takes about 8-10 minutes.

6. Baste with Butter:

   • During the last few minutes of cooking, add butter to the skillet. Baste the steaks with the melted garlic butter, infusing them with rich flavor.

7. Rest and Serve:

   • Remove the steaks from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.
   • Slice against the grain and serve, drizzling the remaining red wine reduction and garlic butter over the top.

8. Pair with Red Wine:

   • Pour yourself a glass of the same red wine used in the recipe to perfectly complement the flavors of the steak.
