We made this steak for dinner last night and enjoyed it very much. It had great flavor and was very easy to prepare. I loved the combination of shiitake, thyme, merlot, and shallots. Next time, I will use a higher end merlot as I suspect it will only enhance the already delicious flavor. The only modifications I made were to use olive oil in place of vegetable oil and used regular butter in place of unsalted. We would definitely make this recipe again. Thanks for posting.
