Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces filet mignon steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 300 grams white mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Start by patting the filet mignon steaks dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Sear the filet mignon steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms. Remove the steaks from the pan and set aside. (You’ll finish cooking them later.)
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and their moisture has evaporated.
Deglaze the pan by pouring in the dry white wine. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the wine simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly reduced.
Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Return the filet mignon steaks to the skillet and spoon the mushroom sauce over them. Cook for 4-6 minutes, depending on your preferred level of doneness (use a meat thermometer if needed).
Sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot. Enjoy with a side of roasted potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
