Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• ¼ cup red wine
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 (14 ounce) t-bone steak
• ¾ cup reduced-sodium beef broth
• 1 tablespoon coarse-grained Dijon mustard

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Season the steak with salt and pepper to taste. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak until nicely browned on the outside, and nearly cooked to your desired degree of doneness on the inside, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove the steak from the pan, and tent loosely with foil to keep warm.

Step 2

Wipe the oil from the skillet, and pour in the red wine; simmer until reduced by half. Whisk the flour into the beef broth, then stir into the simmering red wine along with the rosemary and Dijon mustard. Return to a boil; cook, stirring constantly until the sauce reduces slightly and thickens. Keep warm over low heat.

Step 3

Cut the meat from the bone, then slice into 1/3-inch thick pieces. Serve with the rosemary sauce.
