Take the steaks out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
Season the steaks generously on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Place a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot and shimmering, place the steaks in the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust according to your desired doneness level. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
Remove the steaks from the pan and place them on a plate. Cover with aluminum foil and let them rest.
In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium. Add the unsalted butter and let it melt, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add the finely diced shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced button mushrooms and paprika, stirring to coat the mushrooms evenly. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the mushrooms are golden and tender.
Pour in the dry white wine, deglazing the pan by scraping the bottom to release any flavorful bits. Allow the wine to reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer gently until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Plate the steaks and spoon the Archduke sauce generously over them.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with sides like roasted potatoes or steamed vegetables.
