Filet Mignon with mushroom sauce
Filet Mignon is a high-quality cut of beef, known for its tenderness and rich flavor. When served with a mushroom sauce, it adds a wonderful depth and earthiness to the dish. The mushroom sauce is typically made with sautéed mushrooms, garlic, shallots, beef broth, and sometimes a splash of red wine or cream to create a savory and delicious accompaniment to the juicy Filet Mignon.

Ingredients
- 4 filet mignon steaks (about 6-8 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 pound mushrooms sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 shallot finely chopped
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup red wine (optional)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Fresh thyme leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Season the filet mignon steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer a more well-done steak. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside, covering with foil to keep warm.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the garlic and shallot to the skillet and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the beef broth and red wine (if using) and simmer for about 10 minutes until the liquid has reduced by half.
- Stir in the heavy cream and cook for another 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return the filet mignon steaks to the skillet and coat them with the mushroom sauce. Cook for a few more minutes to heat the steaks through.
- Serve the Filet Mignon with mushroom sauce on plates, drizzle with extra sauce, and garnish with fresh thyme leaves.
- Enjoy!
