4 boneless shell steaks, about 2 lbs. total
Salt to taste
Ground pepper to taste
1 Tb. corn, peanut or vegetable oil
4 Tbs. butter
1/2 c. thinly sliced shallots
2 Tbs. finely chopped parsley

Sprinkle the steaks on both sides with salt & pepper. Heat a cast-iron skillet, large enough to hold the steaks in one layer, until it is fiery hot. Add the oil & quickly coat the bottom of the skillet. Add the steaks & cook until well browned, about 3 minutes. Turn the steaks & continue cooking on the second side about 3 minutes. If you want the steak medium rare, cook 4-5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a warm platter. Heat 1 Tbs. of the butter in a small skillet or saucepan & add the shallots. Cook, stirring often, until they are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Add the remaining 3 Tbs. of butter & cook until bubbling hot. Spoon the shallots over the meat & pour any remaining butter over all. Sprinkle with parsley & serve. Makes 4 servings.
