Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Beef tenderloin steaks
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 12 ounces Cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the time to your desired doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set them aside to rest.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Lower the heat to medium and sauté the garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until the mushrooms are tender and browned.

Step 6

Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and pick up any browned bits. Bring the broth to a simmer and let it reduce slightly for 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme, simmering for another 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 8

Return the steaks to the skillet, spoon the mushroom sauce over them, and cook for 2-3 minutes to reheat the meat.

Step 9

Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.

Step 10

Transfer the steaks to serving plates, spoon the rich mushroom sauce over each, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
