Skillet Filets with Shallots and Green Beans

I'm one of those people who loves spending time in the kitchen. If I have the time, I'll almost always pick something with multiple steps for dinner, playing with as many pots and pans as I can. But sometimes, simple and quick is the best. This dinner is super snappy and doesn't have a ton of ingredients. Yet it tastes great!

Skillet Filets with Shallots and Green Beans
2 beefy seitan filets
1 Tbsp earth balance
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 large shallot, peeled and quartered
1 cup green beans
1 Tbsp red wine
1/4 cup broth
salt and pepper

Heat the earth balance and oil in frying pan. Season the filets with salt and pepper. When the oils are melted and the frying pan is hot, sear the cutlets on both sides. Remove and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium and add the shallots and green beans. Saute a few minutes, the add the red wine and broth. Simmer until they've reduced by about 1/2. Then put the filets back in to reheat. Check for seasonings. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Tonight's dinner: either Sweet and Sour Tofu or leftover soup. You can guess which one I'm leaning toward!
