  • 400 g filet mignon about two small steaks
  • 150 g button mushrooms "champignons de Paris"

  • 50 cl heavy cream "crème fraîche"

Notes

Feel free to substitute Boursin with another soft herbed cheese if necessary. If you want a deeper flavor, consider deglazing the pan with a splash of red wine or beef broth after cooking the steak. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, and reheat gently over low heat. This dish pairs nicely with creamy mashed potatoes or steamed green beans. Remember that the simplicity of this dish relies on the quality of ingredients; fresh mushrooms and a good steak make a big difference!
