Ingredients

4 steaks of choice about 1-inch thick, I used bottom round steaks
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil plus more if needed
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup chopped shallots or red onion
1/2 cup dry red wine
1/3 cup beef broth or chicken broth
Chopped fresh parsley for serving optional

Instructions

Season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side for rare to medium-rare, or longer for more fully cooked meat. Transfer the steaks to a plate.
Add the shallots to the same pan over medium heat, adding a little more oil if necessary to prevent burning. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until golden. Add the wine and cook for 2 to 4 minutes, until syrupy.
Add the beef broth and simmer until the liquid reduces and thickens. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter.
Pour the sauce over the steaks and top with parsley, if using.
