Ingredients

• 4 filet mignon steaks (about 6 ounces each)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Season the filet mignon steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side, until nicely browned.
5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook the steaks for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired level of doneness.
6. Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the steaks to a plate. Cover loosely with foil and let them rest for 5 minutes.
7. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
8. Add the mushrooms and garlic, and sauté until the mushrooms are golden brown and the liquid has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
9. Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the broth has reduced slightly.
10. Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
11. Season the mushroom sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
12. Place the filet mignon steaks back into the skillet with the mushroom sauce, coating them with the sauce.
13. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.
