Ingredients
  

2 beef tenderloin steaks (6 oz each)

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

8 oz mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, and button), sliced

1 small shallot, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup beef broth

1/2 cup red wine (preferably a dry variety)

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon heavy cream (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Beef: Pat the beef tenderloin steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

    Sear the Steaks: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare (adjust time for desired doneness). Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, covered with aluminum foil.

      Make the Mushroom Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and allow it to melt. Add the chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

        Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become golden brown. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

          Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the red wine, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until it reduces slightly.

            Add the Broth and Seasonings: Stir in the beef broth, thyme, and Dijon mustard. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened. If using, stir in the heavy cream for added richness.

              Final Touches: Taste the sauce and season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Return the resting steaks to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them and letting them warm through for a minute.

                Serve: Plate the beef tenderloins and generously ladle the mushroom sauce on top. Garnish with chopped parsley for color and serve immediately.
