Instructions
- Slice the beef tenderloin/fillet into medallions (or have your butcher do it for you).
- Drizzle each steak with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper and fresh thyme.
- Heat a large, deep pan over high heat and add the meat. Cook each fillet to your preference. I like it medium rare so I cook it 4-5 minutes per side.
- Remove from the pan and place on a plate to rest while you make the sauce.
- In the same pan you cooked the meat, add a splash of olive oil then add the mushrooms, garlic and thyme.
- Cook until the mushrooms are golden brown then pour in the cream, lemon juice and truffle oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
- Add the steaks back into the pan along with any resting juices. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to warm the steaks through then serve.
