Instructions: Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper. Heat medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add steaks and cook about 4 minutes per side for rare; transfer to plates.

Add remaining ingredients to skillet. Boil until sauce thickens, scraping up any browned bits, about 3 minutes. Spoon sauce over steaks.

This recipe yields 2 servings;

can be doubled.

Comments: Midweek suggestions are thick-cut fries, sauteed mushrooms and peppermint-stick ice cream. For a touch of glamour, begin with Champagne and caviar, offer roasted potatoes and spinach souffle with the steak, and have chocolate truffles afterward.
