Entrecote Bordelaise is a classic French dish that originated in the Bordeaux region. It consists of a tender steak cooked to perfection and served with a rich, red wine sauce with shallots. The combination of the juicy and flavorful steak with the velvety sauce is a match made in heaven. This dish is typically served with a side of potatoes or vegetables but can also be enjoyed on its own. It's perfect to impress your guests during a dinner party or to treat yourself to a fancy dinner at home.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 220 °C.
2.	Season the steaks liberally with salt and pepper.
3.	Melt 2-3 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat, and sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes per side until well-browned.
4.	Transfer the steaks to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 5-8 minutes for rare, 10-12 minutes for medium-rare, or 12-15 minutes for medium-well.
5.	In the same skillet, add chopped shallots and cook until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
6.	Pour in red wine and deglaze the skillet until the liquid is reduced by half.
7.	Add demi-glace or beef stock, whisking constantly until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
8.	Whisk in the remaining butter and chopped parsley, then pour the sauce over the steaks in the baking dish and serve hot.
