Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat steak dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until smoking. Add steak and sear for 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, then transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 tbsp butter and chopped shallot to the skillet, cooking for 2 minutes until softened. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until golden brown and moisture evaporates. Pour in white wine, scraping up browned bits, and simmer for 2 minutes until reduced by half.
  3. Step 3: Stir in beef broth, thyme, and rosemary, then bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Return steak to the skillet, spooning sauce over it, and cook for 1 more minute to warm through. Serve immediately with extra sauce drizzled on top.
