Ingredients Beef Ribeye Steak Steak au Poivre with Red Wine Pan Sauce 5.0 (2) 4 Reviews Red wine pan sauce is an amalgamation of fond (those browned bits left in the pan after searing meat), shallots, broth, good-quality red wine, and a few pats of butter to bind it all together and thicken it to a syrupy consistency.

The well-marbled cut stays more tender than New York strip, and its rich, beefy flavor infuses the pan sauce. Trim the steak of large pieces of fat and tie it into a round for even cooking. Ingredients 1 (1-inch-thick) rib eye steak, trimmed and tied with butcher’s twine 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper 1/4 cup unsalted butter, divided 1 tablespoon neutral oil, such as grapeseed 1/4 cup minced shallots 1/2 cup red wine 1 cup homemade beef broth Directions Cara Cormack Ingredients.
