Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak tips, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 shallot, minced
1/2 cup red wine (such as a Cotes due Rhone or Pinot Noir)
1 teaspoon packed brown sugar
1/2 cup beef broth
1/4 teaspoon minced fresh thyme

Steps:

Pat steak tips dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add steak tips and cook until well browned all over and meat registers 125° (for medium-rare), 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to plate and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Add 1 tablespoon butter to now-empty skillet and melt over medium heat. Add shallot and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add wine and sugar and simmer until nearly evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add broth and any accumulated steak juice from plate and simmer until liquid is reduced to 1/3 cup, about 3 minutes. Off heat, whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons butter and thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Return steak tips to skillet and toss with sauce. Serve.
