Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- (4) 4 ounce beef tenderloin steaks, pounded to 1-inch thick
- 1 shallot, minced
- 2 cups button mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup cognac or brandy
- 1 cup beef broth
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasonings
- Kosher salt and cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Pound the steaks down to 1-inch thickness with a kitchen mallet then season both sides of each steak with salt and pepper.
- Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side. Cook to the desired doneness. Medium-rare steak is cooked to 135 degrees Fahrenheit, but you can cook it longer if you like it more well done. Transfer the cooked steaks to a plate and tent with foil.
- In the same skillet cook the sliced mushrooms for 3-5 minutes, or until softened. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Again, in the same skillet sauté the shallot over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, until softened. Add additional olive oil if needed.
- Add the cognac and cook for 1 minute until the alcohol is almost evaporated. Use a spatula to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. You can substitute the alcohol with beef broth if you prefer to leave it out.
- Stir in the beef broth and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the cream, dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the cooked mushrooms back into the sauce.
- Season with dried Italian seasonings, salt, and pepper.
- Return the steaks to the sauce in the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the steaks and heat through until warm.
- Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with fresh herbs and enjoy!
