Ingredients

  • 1 lb steak (such as sirloin or ribeye)
  • 1 head broccoli
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup red wine
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the 1 lb steak dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over high heat. Add the steak and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, until a thermometer reads 130°F. Transfer to a plate and let rest.

  3. 3

    In the same pan, add 1 tbsp olive oil and the 1 head broccoli cut into florets. Cook over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until charred and tender, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Reduce heat to medium. Add the 1/4 cup red wine and scrape up any browned bits. Simmer until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Stir in the 1/2 cup heavy cream and simmer until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Slice the steak and serve with the broccoli and sauce spooned over.
