Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil (I use this brand) Code Peaceloveandlowcarb for 15% off
• (4) 8 ounce steaks, cut of your choice (I get my meat here)
• sea salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 small shallot, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons butter or Butter Flavored Coconut Oil for paleo or Whole30
• 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar (I use this brand)
• 1/4 cup beef broth
• 1/4 cup spicy brown mustard or dijon mustard

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large skillet or grill pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the steaks on both sides with a little sea salt and black pepper. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they have reached desired level of doneness. Remove the steaks from the pan, and place on a plate covered with foil while you make the sauce. Alternately you can hold the steaks in the oven on low.

2. 2

   To the skillet, add the shallots and butter and sauté until the shallots are soft and translucent. Add the balsamic vinegar, beef broth, and mustard to pan. Use a rubber spatula to scrape any bits of steak from the bottom of the pan and mix into sauce. Bring to a boil over medium heat and then reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Pour the sauce over top of the steaks before serving.
