Tender filet steaks seared to perfection and topped with a rich, creamy mushroom and herb sauce for an elegant, restaurant-style meal at home.

Ingredients

  • 2 filet steaks (6–8 oz each)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Optional: 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Pat the filet steaks dry and season generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the steaks for 3–4 minutes per side, until desired doneness is reached. Remove and let rest.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter and add sliced mushrooms.
  5. Cook mushrooms until golden and moisture has evaporated.
  6. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  7. Pour in beef broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up browned bits.
  8. Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream, thyme, and parsley.
  9. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
  10. Return steaks to the pan, spoon sauce over them, and warm for 1–2 minutes.
  11. Serve immediately with optional parmesan cheese on top.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness.
  • White wine can be added when deglazing for extra depth.
  • Cremini or button mushrooms work best.
  • Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the steak.
