Heat a large skillet and add the vegetable oil. Sear the steaks for approximately 3 minutes on each side. Place the steaks on a baking tray and keep warm in the oven while cooking the sauce. In the skillet where you cooked the steaks, add the shallots and butter. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until the shallots are golden.
