Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) beef tenderloin steaks
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (finely chopped)
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms (sliced)
• 1 small shallots (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 cup beef stock
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef tenderloin steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Combine the finely chopped parsley, rosemary, and thyme in a shallow dish. Gently press each steak into the herb mixture to evenly coat both sides.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the unsalted butter in a heavy skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once the butter is melted and hot, sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust cooking time for desired doneness). Remove the steaks from the skillet and tent with foil to rest.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Reduce heat to medium and sauté the sliced mushrooms until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Add the finely chopped shallots and minced garlic to the mushrooms. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 7

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 8

Gradually pour in the beef stock, stirring constantly, to create a smooth sauce. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 9

Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the gravy reaches a creamy consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary.

Step 10

Serve the steaks on plates, topped generously with the mushroom gravy. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
