Ingredients

  • 1 (1 1/2-pound) flat iron steak
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup Cabernet Sauvignon (recommended: BV Napa Cabernet)
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon grill seasoning
  • 1 shallot, diced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

  • Take the steak out of the refrigerator 20 minutes before you are ready to cook it so that it can come to room temperature.
  • This will help it cook more evenly.
  • In a small pot over high heat, add the broth and wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until it is very hot.
  • Season the steak with the grill seasoning and put it in the skillet.
  • Cook about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  • Remove it from the pan, cover it with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes while you finish the sauce.
  • Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium and add the shallots.
  • Cook until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the reduced broth and wine mixture and cook until thickened, about for about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the butter and cook until the butter is melted and incorporated into the sauce.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
  • Slice the steak against the grain into thin slices, arrange them on a serving platter and serve with the sauce on the side or poured over top.
