The butter, shallots, mushrooms, red wine.... it really was amazing.

Here's the recipe:

sliced baby bella mushrooms, 1/2 pkg.

1 minced shallot

2 TBSP red wine

1 1/2 TBSP olive oil + 1 1/2 TBSP butter

1. Sprinkle steaks with paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme.

2. Heat 2 TBSP butter in skillet over medium high heat.

Add shallots and stir approx. 1 min. Add mushrooms and cook until tender.

3. Add red wine and cook until thickened slightly.

4. Heat olive oil and remaining butter over medium high heat.
