    2       lb           Filet mignon strip steaks
    2       tb           Oil
    2       tb           Unsalted butter
      1/4   c            Chopped shallots or scallion
      1/2   ts           Finely minced garlic
      1/2   c            Dry red wine
      1/4   c            Beef stock or bouillon
    1       pn           Dried thyme
                         Salt and pepper to taste
 
   TRIM STEAKS TO REMOVE any excess fat, and set aside. Heat the oil in a
   skillet or saute 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 saute 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 1/2. Season with salt and pepper to
   taste. Pour the sauce over the steaks. Serve immediately.
