Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds beef tenderloin or filet mignon cut crosswise into 3/4 inch thick medallions
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
- 2 tablespoons shallots minced
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1/4 cup cognac
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon chives thinly sliced
Instructions
- Pat the steak dry and season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the oil in a large pan over high heat. Arrange the steaks in a single layer in the pan; if they don't all fit you might need to work in batches.
- Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes per side or until desired level of doneness is reached. You can use a thermometer if needed to gauge the proper temperature of the meat.
- Remove the steak from the pan. Place on a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the pan. Add the mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and tender.
- Add the shallots and garlic and cook for one more minute. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the cognac into the pan and bring to a boil. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until liquid has reduced in half.
- Add the beef broth, Dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce and heavy cream to the pan. Whisk until well combined.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until sauce has just thickened.
- Return the steaks to the pan. Spoon the sauce over the meat. Sprinkle with chives, then serve.

Notes
- If you don't want to use cognac, you can substitute more beef broth in its place.
- I prefer to cook my steaks to medium, which is 145 degrees F on a meat thermometer.
