Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6-8 oz each) beef fillets
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 1 teaspoon (freshly cracked, or to taste) black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons (divided) butter
- 2 ounces (crumbled) Stilton cheese
- 8 ounces (sliced) white mushrooms
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
Take the beef fillets out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
Season the fillets generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully sear the fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare (or adjust according to your desired doneness). Remove the fillets from the pan and set aside, loosely covering them with foil to rest.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Heat over medium heat and add the sliced mushrooms, stirring occasionally for 5-6 minutes until softened and golden.
Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream, cooking for 2 more minutes to coat the mushrooms. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Preheat the oven broiler to high. Place the fillets on a baking sheet, top each fillet with 1 ounce of crumbled Stilton cheese, and place the sheet under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese melts and becomes slightly bubbly.
Serve the Stilton-topped beef fillets immediately, accompanied by the garlicky mushrooms. Garnish with extra parsley if desired for a touch of freshness.
