Ingredients
  

  • 900 g filet of beef sliced into 110g portions
  • 3 tablespoons oil
  • 10 medium mushrooms (crimini, button, or a mix), sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 shallot peeled and diced
  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 60 ml cognac
  • 360 ml beef broth
  • 80 ml heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sliced green onions for garnish

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Tongs
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring spoon set

Method
 

  1. Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides and set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering, then sear the steaks for 2 minutes on one side and 1 minute on the other before removing them from the pan.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté the sliced mushrooms on high heat for 6-8 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Push the mushrooms to one side of the skillet and melt the butter in the space, then add the diced shallot and minced garlic, sautéing for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat, carefully pour in the cognac, then return to heat and flambé.
  6. Pour in the beef broth and reduce until the liquid is halved while stirring occasionally.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, parsley, and lemon juice.
  8. Reheat the steak in the sauce for 1-2 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  9. Plate the steaks with sauce and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

Feel free to swap cognac for chicken broth for an alcohol-free version, or use sour cream instead of heavy cream for a tangy twist. For a vegetarian option, portobello mushrooms are a great substitute for the steak. Make sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze individual portions for up to 2 months. Reheat gently to maintain the sauce's integrity. Enjoy with sides like mashed potatoes or roasted asparagus for a complete meal!
