INGREDIENTS
•
1 Nice, thick rib eye, 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick, big enough for two

2 teaspoons Dark brown sugar
•
1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
•
1 tablespoon Coarse ground black pepper
•
1 teaspoon Ground cumin

1 cup Chocolate stout (you'll have to drink the rest)

1/2 cup Beef stock

1 tablespoon Unsalted butter

1 sprig Thyme

1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (if you are the type to save bacon fat, by all means use it!)
