Ingredients
  

Steak Preparation
  • 4 pieces filet steaks (about 6 oz each) Choose high-quality cuts for the best flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Use extra-virgin olive oil for better flavor.
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black pepper
Creamy Mushroom Sauce
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini work wonderfully)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic enhances the flavor.
  • 1 cup heavy cream For a lighter option, substitute with dairy-free cream.
  • 1/4 cup fresh herbs (e.g., parsley, thyme), chopped Use a mix of your favorite fresh herbs.
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by gently patting your filet steaks dry with paper towels. This will help you achieve that golden brown crust.
  2. Rub the steaks with olive oil, seasoning generously with salt and pepper.
Cooking the Steaks
  1. In a heavy skillet or cast iron pan, heat over medium-high heat. Add a splash of olive oil and once it shimmers, carefully place the seasoned filet steaks in the pan.
  2. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time to meet your preferred doneness.
  3. Transfer steaks to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
Preparing the Topping
  1. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, toss in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they’re golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Making the Cream Sauce
  1. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine.
  2. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened slightly.
  3. Stir in the fresh herbs, ensuring they’re evenly mixed throughout.
Serving
  1. Drizzle the creamy mushroom sauce over the steaks before serving.
  2. Enjoy your restaurant-worthy meal with your favorite side dishes!

Notes

Rest steaks for at least 5 minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
