Instructions
1. Heat a platter or plates in a 200° oven.
2. Season the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper. On the stove, heat a large cast iron skillet (or another type of heavy skillet) over high heat until very hot. Add the vegetable oil, then the steaks, and sauté until the meat reaches desired doneness (2 minutes on each side for rare, 3 minutes for medium-rare). Transfer the steaks to the oven and discard the excess fat from the pan.
3. Reduce the heat to medium-high, add the shallots to the pan, and sauté them for 20 seconds. Pour in the wine and the diluted Demi-Glace Gold®, stirring to incorporate all the browned cooking bits from the pan into the liquid. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until the liquid is reduced to 2 to 3 tablespoons.
4. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the butter a tablespoon at a time. Add the chopped parsley and season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper. If desired, cut the steaks into slices across the grain of the meat. Serve the meat with the sauce spooned over it.
