Steps:
- Sauté the steaks.
- Season the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the pan to smoking point and add half the butter. Place the steak in the pan and brown it on both sides - give it about two to three minutes on each side to seal it first, then let the meat cook through to your taste. Do both steaks in this way and then set them aside.
- Cook the shallots.
- In the same pan, (drain excess butter if needed), cook the shallots. Put them in the pan and stir from time to time until they are soft and starting to turn golden.
- Deglaze the pan.
- When the shallots are done add the red wine to the pan and give it a good stir.
- Now, add the demi glace or beef stock to the pan and stir until everything is blended, then leave it to simmer for 5 minutes or until reduced.
- Cut the remaining butter into small pieces and add them to the sauce one at a time, mixing so that they melt into the mixture: this will give the sauce a rich flavour and give it an appetising glossy finish,.
- Plate the dish.
- Cut the meat across the grain into thick slices and arrange them on a plate.
- Add some chopped parsley to the sauce, then pour little of the sauce over each steak.
- Serve the rest of the sauce in a gravy boat.
- You might like to serve it with sauté potatoes, frites and some haricot verts.

FILET MIGNON AU BORDELAISE - STEAK IN RED WINE WITH SHALLOTS
I like to serve this tender and delicious pan-seared steak for Valentine's Day or romantic occasions such as anniversaries and birthdays! Takes only 20 minutes, start to finish. Wonderful paired with my Alsatian Baked Potatoes or Gratin Dauphinois, steamed seasonal vegetables or a tossed green salad, and a simple dessert of fresh ripe berries & chantilly cream.

Steps:
- Put butter and oil in a heavy skillet over high heat. When the butter has foamed and begins to subside it is right for the steak.
- Fry steak on one side 4 to 5 minutes. Turn steak and brown on other side 4 to 5 minutes (for medium-rare), depending on desired degree of doneness. Test for doneness by cutting a small incision in the steak (just a very small incision, about the same size as a meat thermometer makes!).
- Remove steak to a hot platter and sprinkle lightly with coarse sea salt and freshly-ground black pepper. Keep warm (cover and place in a 250 degree F oven).
- Add dry red wine, cognac, demi glace or beef stock, mushrooms and shallots to skillet and cook over high heat. Scrape up brown bits from bottom of the pan and boil until liquid is reduced almost to a syrup. Remove from heat and stir in the softened butter until it has melted. Pour sauce over steak.
- Top with a dab of crumbled Roquefort cheese, sprinkle with snipped fresh parsley and garnish with a sprig of rosemary, if desired.
- Wonderful served with Alsatian baked potatoes or Gratin Dauphinois, steamed seasonal vegetables or a tossed green salad, and ripe fresh berries in chantilly cream for dessert.

A CHEAT'S BORDELAISE SAUCE
Classic bordelaise sauce, which can transform shoe leather into strip steak, is made with veal stock, demi-glace and time -- a lot of time. Here, though, you'll use pan drippings from pork chops, simmering them with a red wine reduction until the two combine into an unctuous, rich sauce that flanks the old methods. Strain the whole thing, stir in a little butter and seasonings, and drizzle it over the pork chops. This takes most of a bottle of pinot noir, so choose the one you won't mind finishing off in the kitchen yourself, alone with your heat and creativity.

Steps:
- Pour the olive oil into a large saucepan, place over medium-high heat and add the shallot and garlic and then the thyme and bay leaf. Cook until the shallots are light brown, then add the wine, lower the heat and simmer until reduced to about 1/2 cup.
- Add the pan drippings from the chops or the demi-glace if you have it. Simmer for an additional 5 to 10 minutes and then strain into a clean saucepan. Return to medium heat until warm and whisk in the butter and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately drizzled over the pork chops.
BORDELAISE SAUCE WITH MUSHROOMS
I used to visit the restaurant of a friend who was a chef. He made the best mushroom sauce for beef, but would not share his recipe. After trial and error, I think mine comes very close to his. This haute cuisine sauce makes everyday steaks or roasts into something a little more elegant. Serve atop grilled steaks, hamburger steaks, roasted beef or venison. Bon Appetite!

Steps:
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and shallot, and cook until the shallot has softened and turned translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter, then stir in the mushrooms once the butter has melted. Cook and stir the mushrooms until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the beef broth, wine, and Worcestershire sauce; season with the bay leaf and thyme, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Once simmering, season to taste with salt and pepper, reduce the heat to medium-low, and continue to cook, uncovered until the sauce reduces slightly, about 30 minutes. Dissolve the cornstarch in the cold water, and stir into the simmering sauce until thickened. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Tips:
- To make the perfect shallot confit, slice the shallots thinly and cook them slowly in butter until they are soft and caramelized. This process can take up to 30 minutes, but it's worth the wait.
- When searing the steaks, make sure the pan is very hot before adding the meat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the steaks while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the steaks. If you put too many steaks in the pan at once, they will not cook evenly.
- Let the steaks rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Serve the steaks with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
Red wine shallot bordelaise is a classic French dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The rich, flavorful sauce is made with red wine, shallots, and beef broth, and it pairs perfectly with grilled or roasted meats. If you're looking for a delicious and impressive dish to serve your guests, this is the one for you.
