Number Of Ingredients 6

1 top round beef steak (2½ to 3 lbs.)
2 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. olive oil
½ cup dry red wine
½ tsp. dried oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

The steak should be ½-in. thick; if necessary, pound between two sheets of waxed paper to achieve this thickness. Warm the butter and olive oil in a large sauté pan set over medium-high heat. When the butter is foaming rapidly, add the steak and fry to brown on one side, about 3 minutes. (If the steak is larger than your sauté pan, cut in half.) Turn and season with salt and pepper. Brown the other side, about 3 minutes. Remove from the pan to a warm platter and set aside. Add the wine and oregano to the pan, scraping up any meat that may have stuck to the bottom. Simmer to sweeten the wine, about 1 minute. Meanwhile, cut the meat into six equal portions. When the wine sauce is ready, pour it over the meat and serve immediately.
