Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Sprinkle meat on both sides with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in heavy black iron skillet and add steaks. If skillet is not large enough, you may wish to cook 2 at a time. Cook meat over high heat until nicely browned on one side, about 1½ minutes. Turn and cook about 1½ minutes on second side. Remove meat to warm platter and pour off fat from skillet.

  3. Step 3

    Add butter and shallots and cook, stirring, briefly until wilted and barely start to brown. Add vinegar and shake skillet briefly. Pour sauce over steaks and sprinkle with parsley.

Tip
  • This dish is best cooked in a heavy black iron skillet.

pls, mark b, Melissa, and company:
for all "massive" ingredients, like a steak or big piece of fish, please indicate whether you're starting with them fresh out of refrigerator or whether they've come to room temperature. There's a difference.

I did super hot cast iron with salt on the pan. Not too much salt..

Incredible!!! Used peanut oil. This is my new go-to for a delicious steak on a weeknight. Btw I used a ribeye and it was so so good

If you can, always cook from room temp. It changes the cooking time considerably.
