4 8-Ounce Skirt Steaks; trimmed of fat
6 larges Shallot; Peeled
1 tablespoon Butter
2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
½ cup Red Wine Vinegar
3 tablespoons Butter

Finely chop shallots; set aside. Heat 2 Tbsp butter and 2 Tbsp. oil in large cast iron skillet over med-high heat. Season steaks with salt and freshly ground pepper. Cook steaks, 2 at a time, until medium rare, 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to a plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
