Beef Tenderloin Steak With Mushrooms and Madeira

Time: 55 mins

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

  • 1 Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat (I make this on my electric frypan).
  • 2 Add in the mushrooms; saute until tender (about 10 minutes).
  • 3 Add in shallots with HALF the minced garlic; saute for about 3 minutes.
  • 4 Add in thyme and season with salt and pepper; transfer the mushrooms to a bowl.
  • 5 Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter with 2 tablespoons oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat.
  • 6 Season steaks with salt and pepper, and add to skillet.
  • 7 Cook the steaks to desired doneness (I cook them about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare).
  • 8 Transfer the steaks to a plate.
  • 9 Add in remaining 1/4 cup shallots and garlic to the same skillet; sate for about 2 minutes.
  • 10 Add in Madeira and boil until reduced by half (this should take about 3 minutes).
  • 11 Add in broth and boil until the mixture is reduced to about 2/3 cup (this should take about 6 minutes).
  • 12 Add in cream and boil for about 2 minutes.
  • 13 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.
  • 14 Stir in the mushroom mixture, and then season the sauce with salt and pepper.
  • 15 Return the steaks to skillet and cook until heated through (about 1 minute).
  • 16 Transfer to plates and spoon the sauce over.
