Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef tenderloin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 250 grams button mushrooms
- 1 cup beef stock
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Prepare the beef by patting it dry with paper towels and seasoning it with salt and black pepper on all sides.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Sear the beef tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
4. Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet.
5. Finely chop the onion and garlic. Add them to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
6. Clean and slice the button mushrooms. Add them to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and turn golden brown.
7. Pour in the beef stock and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it reduce by half, about 5 minutes.
8. Stir in the heavy cream and continue simmering for 2-3 more minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
9. Return the beef to the skillet, nestling it in the mushroom sauce. Cover and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the beef is tender and cooked to your desired doneness.
10. Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the dish for garnish.
11. Serve the beef and mushroom sauce immediately, pairing with your choice of rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
