Ingredients
  

2 beef tenderloin steaks (about 6-8 ounces each)

Salt and black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 shallot, finely chopped

1 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Season the Steaks: Pat the beef tenderloins dry with paper towels, then season them generously with salt and black pepper on both sides. Allow them to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.

    Cook the Steaks: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tenderloin steaks and sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side (for medium-rare) or until they reach your desired degree of doneness. Transfer the steaks to a plate and cover loosely with aluminum foil to rest.

      Sauté the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms, minced garlic, and chopped shallot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until the mushrooms are golden and softened, stirring occasionally.

        Make the Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium, then pour in the heavy cream, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the Dijon mustard and thyme leaves. Let the sauce simmer for about 3-5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

          Combine and Serve: Return the cooked beef tenderloin to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the steaks. Allow them to warm through for about a minute.

            Garnish and Plate: Transfer the beef tenderloin to plates, and generously drizzle the creamy mushroom sauce over each steak. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a lovely touch of color. Serve immediately.
