Directions
TRIM STEAKS TO REMOVE any excess fat, and set aside.
Heat the oil in a skillet or sauté pan over high heat.
Add steaks and sear on each side for 1 minute.
Reduce the heat to medium high, and cook the steaks for 2 to 3 minutes on a side for rare meat, or longer to taste.
Remove the meat from the pan, and place it on a serving platter in a 200F oven to keep warm.
Pour off the grease, and place the pan over medium heat.
Add the butter, and sauté the shallots and garlic, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.
Raise the heat to medium high, add the wine, stock and thyme, and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by ½.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the sauce over the steaks. Serve immediately.
