Ingredients
  

2 beef tenderloin fillets (approximately 6-8 ounces each)

Salt and black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup beef broth

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preparation: Bring the beef tenderloin fillets to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. Pat them dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

    Searing the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, carefully place the seasoned tenderloin fillets in the skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare (or adjust cooking time to achieve desired doneness). Transfer the cooked fillets to a plate and cover them loosely with aluminum foil to rest.

      Making the Mushroom Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until they are browned and tender. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

        Creating the Cream Sauce: Deglaze the skillet with 1/4 cup of beef broth, scraping any browned bits off the bottom. Allow it to simmer for 2 minutes. Then, stir in the heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened.

          Seasoning: Add the fresh thyme (or dried thyme) and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

            Serving: Slice the rested beef tenderloin and arrange it on serving plates. Generously spoon the mushroom sauce over the beef and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
