Ingredients
  

  • 4 beef steaks (ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon)
  • 1 cup sweet cherry wine (such as Merlot or Pinot Noir)"
  • 1 cup fresh or canned cherries, pitted and halved
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh thyme or rosemary for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Gather all ingredients and bring steaks to room temperature. Season each side of the steak generously with salt and pepper.
    Add the halved cherries to the skillet, followed by the sweet cherry wine. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer until reduced by half, about 10-15 minutes.
    Stir in the balsamic vinegar and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, strain the sauce for a smoother consistency.
    Return the rested steaks to the skillet, spooning the cherry sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh thyme or rosemary if desired and serve immediately.
