Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons red wine
• ¼ cup minced shallot
• 1 pound New York strip steaks, cut 3/4 inch thick

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and thyme. Sprinkle onto each side of the steaks, pressing in so it adheres. Set aside.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots; cook and stir for about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms, and cook for a few more minutes, until tender. Stir in the red wine, and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from the heat and keep warm.

Step 3

Heat the oil in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Fry steaks for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or to your desired degree of doneness. Remove to a plate and let rest for a few minutes. Top with mushrooms and serve.
