About

For a more delicate presentation, we pan fry our steak and slice it very thin. Here it’s topped with a shallot wine sauce. If you prefer, just pan fry or broil the steak, and make the Shallot Chive Butter that follows, instead of the wine sauce.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1

Sauce
Gluten-free
