Ingredients

FOR THE STEAK

2 8 oz steaks any cut you like
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp thyme dry
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp butter

FOR THE BORDEAUX SAUCE

2 tbsp butter
1 small shallot minced
1 tbsp thyme dry
½ cup Bordeaux red wine

Instructions

In a bowl whisk together the olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme, and balsamic vinegar. Coat your steak with it well and then pat it dry with a paper towel and set aside.
In a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, add butter and when it starts to bubble add your steaks. Allow them to sear for three minutes on each side. Remove them from the pan and tent with foil.

FOR THE BORDEAUX SAUCE

Turn the heat down to medium and add the minced shallot and butter. Saute until fragrant and butter begins to brown (about 1-2 minutes).
Add the thyme and then the wine. Allow the wine to simmer until reduced to ½ the amount. Turn the heat off.
Whisk in the heavy cream and honey until combined.

Add a little sauce to a deep plate and place the cooked steak on top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
