Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and thyme.
Sprinkle onto each side of the steaks, pressing in so it adheres. Set aside.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the shallots; cook and stir for about 1 minute.
Add the mushrooms, and cook for a few more minutes, until tender. Stir in the red wine, and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Remove from the heat and keep warm.
Heat the oil in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Fry steaks for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or to your desired degree of doneness.
Remove to a plate and let rest for a few minutes. Top with mushrooms and serve.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir
Steak works really well with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir. After all, beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner steaks go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier steaks can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. The La Jota Howell Mountain Merlot with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 99 dollars per bottle.
