Warm vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steaks to your preferred doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium; an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center should register 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Move the steaks to a plate to rest.

Add the shallots to the skillet and cook until they start to soften, about 2 minutes. Pour in the wine and bring it to a boil, scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir in the broth and anchovy; cook until it thickens to a sauce-like consistency, 2 to 3 minutes. Take the skillet off the heat; whisk in the butter gradually. Stir the parsley, chervil, and thyme into the sauce. Purée the sauce in the skillet with an immersion blender until smooth.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
