Pinto Punto Pairing: Grilled Ribeye with Red Wine Sauce

Indulge in the rich flavors of grilled ribeye steaks paired with a savory red wine sauce. The tender, juicy steaks complemented by the boldness of the red wine sauce create a culinary delight perfect for a special dinner.

Ingredients:

• 4 ribeye steaks 1 inch thick
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water

Instructions:

Warm the grill up to high heat

Add a lot of salt and pepper to ribeye steaks

Pour olive oil over the steaks and rub them all over to cover them

Grill steaks for four to five minutes on each side for medium-rare or until done to your liking

In the meantime, cook the minced garlic in olive oil for about one minute in a saucepan over medium-low heat until it smells good

Turn the heat down to low and add the red wine and beef broth

Let it cook down to half, stirring every now and then

Add the thyme leaves, butter, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard and mix them in

Cook for another two to three minutes

Make a slurry with water and cornstarch in a small bowl

This will take about one to two minutes of cooking while the sauce gets thicker

Take the steaks off the grill and give them a minute to rest

Add the red wine sauce to the ribeye steaks that have been grilled and serve them
