Nutrition per Serving

- 1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus more for rubbing
- 4 medium shallots, thinly sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon finely grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions
- Light a grill. In a medium saucepan, heat the 1/4 cup of oil.

- Thickly slice the steaks and arrange on the platter. Serve with the steak sauce.
