- 12 entrecôte steaks (rib-eye), 1-inch thick
- 22 shallots, very finely minced
- 31 cup Bordeaux red wine
- 4½ cup beef broth
- 53 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, divided
- 61 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- 71 tablespoon bone marrow butter (optional, for richness)
- 8Salt and black pepper to taste
- 92 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- 1
Season steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat oil in a heavy skillet (cast iron preferred) over very high heat until just smoking. Sear steaks for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temperature 130°F). Remove to rest on a warmed plate.

Pour off most fat from the pan. Add shallots and cook over medium heat until softened, 2 minutes. Add wine and bring to a vigorous boil, scraping up all the browned bits. Reduce until the wine is syrupy and reduced to about 3 tablespoons — this concentrates the flavor and removes the raw wine taste.

Add broth and reduce by half again. Remove from heat and swirl in cold butter piece by piece until the sauce is glossy, silky, and emulsified — the classic mounting technique. Add parsley and season with salt.

Pour the bordelaise sauce over the rested steaks. Serve immediately, ideally with pommes frites and watercress salad.
