Instructions
- Season the ribeye steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ribeye and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until a nice brown crust forms. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced shallots and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are soft and caramelized.
- Stir in the chopped figs, balsamic vinegar, beef broth, brown sugar, cinnamon, and smoked paprika. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Return the seared ribeye to the skillet, ensuring it is submerged in the glaze. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Braise for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
- Once the ribeye is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest. Strain the cooking liquid into a saucepan and discard the solids. Add the chopped rosemary and bring the liquid to a simmer. Whisk in the butter until melted and smooth.
- Slice the braised ribeye and serve it drizzled with the velvety rosemary jus. Garnish with additional chopped rosemary if desired.
Notes
For added flavor, consider marinating the ribeye overnight. Adjust seasoning to taste.
