Steak Sauce with Bacon and Shallot

    1 teaspoon olive oil
    3 slices bacon, chopped
    1 tablespoon butter
    4 shallots, diced
    1/4 cup half-and-half cream
    salt and pepper to taste

Grill your steak to the desired doneness.

While the steaks are resting, prepare the sauce: cook and stir the chopped bacon in a small saucepan over medium heat until the bacon pieces are crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the butter and shallots, and cook and stir until the shallots are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes more.

Stir in the half-and-half, bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve over the steaks.
