Ingredients:

4 tbsp butter

54g

2 tbsp olive oil

27g

5.25 cups mushrooms

450g

1 onion

110g

4 garlic cloves

12g

1 dash salt

0.40g

1 dash black pepper

1/10g

1 tbsp fresh thyme

2.40g

4 steaks beef fillet

660g

4 fl oz red wine

120g

1 cup beef broth

240g

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

120g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Clean and slice the mushrooms.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Chop the fresh thyme.

2. Cook the Mushrooms:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are browned and softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set them aside.

3. Cook the Onion and Garlic:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Once melted, add the chopped onion and a dash of salt. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

4. Prepare the Steaks:
- Season both sides of the beef filet steaks with salt and black pepper.
- Increase the heat to high. Add the seasoned steak to the skillet (with the onions and garlic pushed to the side) and sear each side for 2-3 minutes to achieve a golden-brown crust.

5. Make the Sauce:
- Reduce the heat to medium and remove the steaks from the pan, setting them aside to rest.
- Pour the red wine into the skillet to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon.
- Add the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Stir in the heavy whipping cream and thyme, then add the mushrooms back into the skillet.
- Let the sauce simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly, about 5-8 minutes.

6. Finish the Dish:
- Return the steaks to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top.
- Continue to cook the steaks in the sauce for another 2-3 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (use a meat thermometer if necessary).

7. Serve:
- Plate each steak with a generous serving of the mushroom sauce on top.
- Optionally, garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme.

8. Enjoy!

Tips:

- Let the steaks sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking throughout the meat.

- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet for searing the steaks to achieve a nice crust.

- Ensure the pan is hot before adding the steaks to get a good sear.

- Deglaze the pan with the red wine before adding the mushrooms and onions to capture all the flavorful browned bits from the steaks.

- Simmer the mushroom sauce to your desired consistency, but avoid boiling it, as this could reduce the sauce too much and affect its texture.

- Finish the sauce with heavy whipping cream for a rich, smooth consistency, and adjust seasoning to taste before serving.

Our Pan-Seared Filet Mignon with Rich Mushroom Sauce is a delightful combination of perfectly cooked beef filet and a hearty, flavorful mushroom sauce. When prepared with attention to detail, this dish will not only satisfy your palate but also impress your dining companions.
