Ingredients
- 2 pounds of flank steak
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup red wine
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 bay leaves
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Season the flank steak generously with salt and pepper.
- In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the flank steak and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until browned. Remove from the pot and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Pour in the beef broth, red wine, and Worcestershire sauce, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any flavorful bits.
- Return the flank steak to the pot and add the thyme and bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven. Let it braise for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
- Once done, remove the pot from the oven and let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with the sauce poured over the top and your favorite sides.
