Preparation
-
Step 1
Brush steak evenly with oil; season with salt and pepper.
-
Step 2
Heat large cast-iron skillet over medium heat until hot; add 2 tablespoons canola oil. Place steak in skillet turning until seared on all sides. Cook 8 to 10 minutes for medium rare (145°F) to medium doneness (160°F). Remove steaks from pan; keep warm.
Cooking Tip: Don't overcrowd steaks in the pan. Maintain medium high heat through the searing process to get all the edges seared and browned.

Step 3
Remove steak from skillet; set aside. Add 2 tablespoons butter, shallots and garlic to skillet. Cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes or until shallots are softened and garlic is fragrant. Add chopped bone marrow; cook 1 minute.

Step 4
Add brandy; cook 1 to 2 minutes or until alcohol burns off. Add red wine; cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes until browned bits attached to skillet are dissolved and liquid is reduced by half. Stir in beef stock, cream, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, beef base and pepper. Cook 3 to 5 minutes or until sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and gently swirl in remaining butter and parsley.
