Prepare your herb rice In a large saucepan, combine chicken stock, dried parsley, dried thyme, crushed garlic, butter and rice. Add water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until rice is tender

Meanwhile heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 table spoon butter. Add 1/2 cup onion and garlic; saute 2 minutes. Add sliced mushrooms; saute for 4 minutes. Add broth, wine, and vinegar. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium, and cook until reduced to 1 1/4 cups (about 6 minutes). Add chives, and cook for 1 minute.

Salt  and pepper steaks on both sides, drizzle some extra-virgin olive oil over steaks to coat lightly. Get a nonstick skillet screaming hot and add steak. Cook 3 minutes on each side for medium rare, 4 for medium to medium well. Remove meat from pan and pull it off fire to rest for a minute.
