Ingredients:
6 (8 ounce) steaks ( i.e. New York steak, they should have some fat)
6 shallots
1 tablespoon minced parsley
4 ounces butter
2 tablespoons oil
1/2 lb mushrooms, sliced
1 (750 ml) bottles red Burgundy wine
Directions:
Sear the steaks over high heat in half the butter and all the oil until cooked to your desired doneness- the time depends on how you like your steaks.
Medium rare is how my friend made them.
Remove and keep warm in oven on low heat.
In the same pan, cook the mushrooms until tender, about three minutes, remove and keep warm.
In another pan, cook the shallots over medium heat until just transparent, and then add the bottle of wine and reduce by 2/3 on high heat.
Add salt, and then add the mushrooms, taste to adjust the seasonings.
Add one turn of the mill of black pepper, and then serve over the steaks.
the sauce should be fairly thick.
If you are in a hurry, you can thicken the sauce with a roux.
Serve with mashed potatoes, and a good salad.
