Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) beef tenderloin steaks
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 small shallots, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1.5 cups cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 0.5 cup dry white wine
• 0.5 cup beef stock
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Remove the beef tenderloin steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.

Step 2

Season both sides of the steaks with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Once the skillet is hot, sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms. For medium-rare, cook until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C). Adjust based on your preferred level of doneness.

Step 5

Transfer the steaks to a plate and tent loosely with aluminum foil to rest.

Step 6

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter.

Step 7

Add the chopped shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent, then stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

Step 8

Add the sliced cremini mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are softened and golden brown.

Step 9

Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the wine has reduced by half.

Step 10

Stir in the beef stock, heavy cream, and thyme leaves, and let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 11

Return the steaks and any accumulated juices back to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the steaks and let them warm through for 2-3 minutes.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately with your choice of sides such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
