   Add a 2 tablespoons of butter and the mushrooms and sear them until they brown. Remove them from the pan to the top of the steaks.

   Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and add the shallots and the garlic. Once they just begin to color a little add the flour. It will seize up around the shallots and garlic.

5. 5

   Add the wine. It will thicken immediately so stir it well. Add the stock, season with salt and pepper and bring the sauce to a boil. Make sure you scrape up all the tasty brown bits from the bottom of the pan.

   Reduce the heat to medium and add the steaks with the mushrooms back to the sauce and baste the steaks until they are medium rare to medium. This is a steak that will be to chewy if it is to rare.
