1. Simmer the shallots in a pan of water for 2-3 mins, then drain and set aside. Season the steaks with a little salt and plenty in a pan until sizzling, then cook the steaks for 3 mins on each side for medium or until done to your liking.
2. Remove the steaks and keep warm. While they rest, add the remaining butter to the pan, throw in the shallots, then sizzle in the sticky pan until starting to brown. Add the balsamic vinegar and bubble for a few mins. Add the wine and boil down until sticky, then add the beef stock and simmer until everything comes together. Spoon the shallots over the steaks and serve withgreen beans and chips.

  In the recipe it doesn't mention the peppercorn but does say season the steaks with a little salt & plenty in a pan... I am assuming the peppercorns get added then?

  Yummy! Had late last night with salad - will try again with roasties and vegies next time. I agree with Vickie - the recipe went a bit off piste but I bunged the peppercorns in with the red wine. Look forward to making again and eating again - yum yum yum!

  This was delicious!! Like Matt I also added some sugar when the shallots were in the pan - made it very sticky and sweet. A highly recommended dish and i'll be making it again!!
