Buy 4 Ibs. STEAK (fillet, rump, or sirloin) cut into 1/2-lb. steaks each 1/2 inch thick and dry each steak completely with paper towels.
In an electric skillet or 10- to 12-inch skillet:
Heat: 2 Tbs. OIL and
2 oz. BUTTER, to the smoking point.
Fry steaks in pan a few at a time according to size of skillet for about 3 minutes on each side, adding fat as required.
Season each steak with salt and coarse-ground pepper and set aside in a warmer.
Lower heat and add: 1 cup DRY RED WINE
1 cup SWEET (dessert) WINE.
Stir with the meat residues in the pan.
Add 2 cloves GARLIC, finely minced.
Cook for 2 minutes.
