4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
4 large garlic cloves, chopped
3 large shallots, chopped (about 2/3 cup)

1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1 cup canned beef broth

Salt and pepper steak on both sides and edges. Place in preheated iron skillet. Sear for five minutes on sides and edges or until charred.
Place steak, in skillet, in a 350-degree oven for 25 minutes or to desired texture.
FOR SAUCE:
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, shallots and thyme; and cut mushrooms sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add flour; stir for 1 minute.
