Ingredients:
2 sirloin steaks
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 Tbsp. olive oil
1 lb. button mushrooms, sliced
2 shallots, halved
3 cloves garlic, skin on
1 bunch oregano, chopped
1 c. red wine
3 Tbsp. unsalted butter
Spash of red wine vinegar

Directions:
Season the steaks with salt and pepper.

Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat.  Cook the steak, searing each side thoroughly, allowing the meat to caramelize and char nicely, about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare.  Add the button mushrooms to the pan, cooking for a minute before adding the shallots and garlic, cooking until everything has softened, and the mushrooms are browned.

Add the oregano, and then deglaze the pan with the red wine and a spash of red wine vinegar.  Cook to reduce the sauce by half, about 4-5 minutes.  Remove steaks from pan and allow to rest.  Add butter to pan and then stir in to finish the sauce.

Slice the steaks and split into portions.  Spoon sauce over the slices of steak to serve.
