Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 beef tenderloin medallions (1 to 1.5 inches thick)

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, divided

  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced

  • 1/4 cup brandy or cognac

  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Pat steaks dry, season with salt and pepper. Let rest 20 minutes at room temperature.
