Ingredients

• 500 grams beef tenderloin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 250 grams button mushrooms
• 1 cup beef stock
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

1. Prepare the beef by patting it dry with paper towels and seasoning it with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 2

2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
