Ingredients:

2 beef fillets
400g
1 tbsp butter
16g
1 tbsp olive oil
16g
1 shallot
50g
1.50 cups mushrooms
130g
1 tsp mustard
5g
1/2 cup Beef stock
100g
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
120g
salt & pepper to taste
1/4 cup brandy
50g

Instructions:

1. Cook steaks: Season beef with salt and pepper. Heat butter and oil in a skillet, sear steaks 3–4 minutes per side. Remove to rest.
2. Cook vegetables: Add shallot and mushrooms to the same pan, sauté until softened.
3. Flambé: Pour in brandy, ignite carefully, and let flames burn off alcohol.
