INGREDIENTS
4 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons olive oil 14 ounces white button mushrooms, sliced (can use more) 2 -3 tablespoons shallots, finely chopped (or to taste) 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme or 1 -2 teaspoon dried thyme 4 (5 ounce) beef tenderloin steaks (about 1-inch thick) 1?2 cup madeira wine 1 1?2 cups beef broth 1?2 cup whipping cream 1 tablespoon flour, mixed with 1 tablespoon melted butter, to create a roux salt and pepper
DIRECTIONS
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat (I make this on my electric frypan). Add in the mushrooms; saute until tender (about 10 minutes). Add in shallots with HALF the minced garlic; saute for about 3 minutes. Add in thyme and season with salt and pepper; transfer the mushrooms to a bowl. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter with 2 tablespoons oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Season steaks with salt and pepper, and add to skillet. Cook the steaks to desired doneness (I cook them about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare). Transfer the steaks to a plate. Add in remaining 1/4 cup shallots and garlic to the same skillet; sate for about 2 minutes. Add in Madeira and boil until reduced by half (this should take about 3 minutes). Add in broth and boil until the mixture is reduced to about 2/3 cup (this should take about 6 minutes). Add in cream and boil for about 2 minutes. This is optional, do this only for a thicker sauce: in a small cup using a small whisk, mix together melted butter with 1 tablespoon flour; add to the simmering cream sauce; stir until thickened. Stir in the mushroom mixture, and then season the sauce with salt and pepper. Return the steaks to skillet and cook until heated through (about 1 minute). Transfer to plates and spoon the sauce over.
