Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Filet mignon steaks
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (divided) Butter
- 8 ounces (sliced) Portabella mushrooms
- 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon All-purpose flour
Instructions
Season each filet mignon steak generously on all sides with salt and black pepper. Let them rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before cooking.
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan.
Sear the filet mignon steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side to achieve a golden-brown crust. Use tongs to sear the edges for another 1-2 minutes. Remove steaks from the pan and set aside, loosely covering them with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the sliced portabella mushrooms. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until soft and golden brown.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute to remove any raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring continuously to make a smooth sauce. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme leaves. Simmer gently for another 5 minutes until the sauce is rich and creamy.
Return the filet mignon steaks to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes to warm through and achieve desired doneness (medium-rare, medium, etc.).
Serve the filet mignon on individual plates, generously topped with the portabella sauce. Pair with sides like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
