Directions

1	Preheat oven to 350 °F.

2	Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottom sauté pan.

3	Gently blot steaks dry with paper towels and then carefully place them in the hot pan.

4	Sauté both sides, about 2–3 minutes, until golden to dark brown.

5	Remove steaks from pan, and put them on a baking sheet to finish in the preheated oven for an additional 3–5 minutes or to your desired doneness (to a minimum internal temperature of 145º F).

6	To make the sauce, pour off any excess grease from the pan. Add mushrooms and sauté until lightly brown, about 3–4 minutes.

7	Lower the heat, and add shallot and garlic. Cook gently over low heat for about 2 minutes, until tender, but not brown.

8	Add tomatoes, tomato paste, and apple cider vinegar, and cook an additional 3 minutes.

9	In a bowl, mix beef broth and cornstarch.

10	Add broth mixture, parsley, and tarragon to the sauté pan. Bring to a boil on medium-high heat while stirring constantly. Lower the heat and simmer for 2–3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

11	Serve one steak with ½ cup sauce.

Tip: Also pairs nicely with Cauliflower With Whole-Wheat Breadcrumbs.
