Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp crushed black pepper, from peppercorns
  • 2 tsp garlic salt
  • 2 tbsp canola or olive oil
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves

Instructions
 

  • 1. Crush the peppercorns in a grinder or with a mallet. Spread evenly over a plate or shallow dish. Firmly press the steak tips against the pepper corns. Sprinkle over the garlic salt and set aside.
    2. Heat the oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until oil shimmers. Then, add the steak tips and cook until desired doneness and well-toasted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove steak tips and place on a plate, tented. Set aside.
    2. In the same skillet, add butter over medium heat. Then, sauté the onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the wine, broth and thyme. Simmer for 6-8 minutes, scraping up brown bits and making sure it is slightly thickened. Reduce heat. Add steak tips back in and spoon sauce over the steaks. Garnish with fresh thyme. Serve.
