| Heat a heavy skillet on high heat then lightly sprinkle the meat with seasoning salt. Add olive oil to the pan and when the oil is hot (to the smoking point), add the meat and brown it, stirring occasionally for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and continue to cook for 2 to 3 more minutes or until the mushrooms start to release their water. Add the shallots and stir once then remove from the flame and add the port. Return the pan to the heat and reduce the wine by half. Add the prepared brown sauce and bring it to a boil then reduce the heat to medium. Cook this for 1 to 2 minutes (more for well done) then turn off the heat and add the butter, stirring until it is incorporated. Serve the steak and mushroom appetizer in a small, shallow bowl or rarebit dish with grilled French bread on the side. |
