Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet, cook steaks in 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat
for 5-6 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness
(for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 145°; medium,
160°; well-done, 170°). Remove and keep warm.
In the same skillet, saute the mushrooms, shallot and onion in
remaining oil. Add garlic and rosemary; saute 1-2 minutes longer.
Stir in the red peppers, wine, salt and pepper; heat through.
Place focaccia on serving plates; top each with a steak and 1/2 cup
mushroom mixture. Sprinkle with cheese and olives. Yield: 4
servings.
