Ingredients

4 beef tenderloin steaks (6 ounces each)
1 tablespoon coarsely ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
2 cups sliced fresh shiitake mushrooms
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
2 tablespoons brandy
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Directions

Sprinkle steaks with pepper and salt. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook steaks in 1 tablespoon oil for 4-5 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Remove and keep warm.
In the same skillet, saute mushroom in remaining oil. Add thyme; cook 1 minute longer. Remove from the heat. Add brandy; cook over medium heat until liquid is evaporated. Stir in cream. Serve with steaks. Yield: 4 servings.
