    Preparation Process:

    Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes

    1. Season the Steak: Generously season both sides of the longhorn steak with Longhorn Steak Spice. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
    2. Sear the Steak: Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add olive oil and sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side, or until a deep, caramelized crust forms.
    3. Create the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the sliced red onion and minced garlic. Sauté until softened and fragrant.
    4. Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the beef broth, red wine, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, and fresh thyme sprigs. Scrape the bottom of the pan to release any flavorful bits.
    5. Simmer and Reduce: Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
    6. Rest and Slice: Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
    7. Finish the Dish: Pour the rich, flavorful sauce over the sliced steak and serve immediately.

    Serving Suggestions:

    Elegant Presentation: Plate the steak on a bed of creamy mashed potatoes and drizzle with the luscious sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

  • Rustic Comfort: Serve the steak with a side of buttery roasted vegetables and a glass of full-bodied red wine.
