Ingredients
- 4 pieces filet mignon
- 2 cups baby bella mushrooms sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter unsalted
- 2 cloves garlic, whole
- 1 pinch sea salt flakes and fresh ground pepper to taste
- fresh thyme
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 425F degrees.
- Heat oil and butter in cast iron. Add in mushroom slices, fresh thyme and garlic cloves. Stir a few times. Cook until golden (about 10-12 mins)
- Meanwhile season filet mignon with sea salt flakes and fresh ground black pepper to taste.
- When mushrooms are done remove from cast iron and reserve.
- Add filet mignon to the cast iron and cook for 3 minutes on each side.
- Then transfer to the oven and cook for 6 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cover with foil for 5 minutes. After this resting time add mushroom in to the cast iron and serve.
Notes
- If you prefer a thicker mushroom sauce, stir 2 to 3 tablespoons of heavy cream and a small amount of cornstarch (or flour) into the sauce.
- A splash of red wine brings refined flavor to the dish.
- Adding meat directly from the fridge to a hot pan is a great way to ruin an expensive cut of steak. This is why you MUST let the steaks come down to room temperature first.
