- Season both sides of the steaks with salt and black pepper.
- Heat a frying pan over high heat. Add oil. Place the steaks in the pan and cook for 4 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and discard the oil.
- Return the pan to the heat. Add the shallot and cook and stir till softened and golden brown, about 1 minute. Add red wine and stir up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat slightly, add balsamic and let the sauce reduce by about half.
- Return the steaks to the pan for a few minutes, turning once. Remove steaks to two warmed plates, spoon sauce over each, and serve immediately.
