Ingredients
  • 2 ribeye steaks
  • 4¼ teaspoon salt, divided
  • 4¼ teaspoon pepper, divided
  • 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 8 ounces mixed mushrooms, such as oyster and trumpet, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon roughly chopped rosemary leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic, divided
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • ¾ cup red wine
  • ½ cup beef stock
Directions
  1. Season the steaks with 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper on either side. Let rest at room temperature while preparing the butter and mushrooms.
  2. To make the compound butter, soften 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium-sized bowl. Add the chopped thyme, chopped rosemary, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Grate 1 clove of garlic into the mixture, then use a spatula to combine until very smooth.
  3. Place the butter on a sheet of plastic and roll into a small cylinder. Seal the plastic and chill in the refrigerator.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, adding oil if needed, until browned and glossy. Remove and reserve.
  5. Turn the heat up to medium-high and add 2 more tablespoons of butter, the thyme sprigs, rosemary, and garlic, smashed lightly. Once the butter is mostly melted, add the steaks, working one at a time if needed.
  6. Sear the steak until deeply browned on each side, about 6 minutes total, basting the cooked side with butter from the skillet. Once cooked, remove on a plate and cover with foil.
  7. Turn the heat to medium-low and add the wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half.
  8. Add the broth and reduce by half again. Add 2 tablespoons of the prepared compound butter (about half the log) and stir to combine. Remove from the heat and add the mushrooms.
  9. To serve, slice steaks and add to a plate. Add a pat of compound butter to each steak. Ladle red wine mushroom mixture over top.
