Ingredients

2 pounds chuck steak
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion finely chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1 cup red wine (such as Cabernet Sauvignon)
1 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon butter
Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Season the Steak: Generously season the chuck steak with salt and pepper on both sides.
Sear the Steak: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chuck steak and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
Cook Aromatics: In the same skillet, add chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Make the Reduction: Pour in the red wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add beef broth, balsamic vinegar, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 10-15 minutes.
Finish the Steak: Return the chuck steak to the skillet, cover, and cook for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the steak is tender and reaches your desired doneness.
Add Butter: Remove the steak from the skillet and stir in the butter to the sauce for added richness.
Serve: Slice the steak and drizzle with the red wine reduction. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
