Instructions: Melt 4 Tbls. of butter and 1 Tbls. of vegetable oil in heavy skillet on low heat. Salt and pepper steaks to taste. Raise heat to medium-high. Place steaks in covered skillet, 5 to 8 mins. each side [depending on your preference for rare to medium, hubby says well done is burnt, I dont eat much meat].When steaks are done, put on a platter and keep warm in the oven.

Wine sauce: reduce heat to medium-low, adding 2 to 3 Tbls. of butter in the same skillet, add diced shallots and sliced mushrooms. Sautee for about 5 mins. or untill tender. Deglaze skillet with 1 cup wine. Let reduce. Wisk in remaining butter untill sauce thickens slightly, pour over steaks.

Best served piping hot, so have all ingredients ready before starting to cook the steaks. Also the use of prongs to handle meat are preferable.

Piercing the meat may release the juices.
