TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
Ingredients:
- 2 beef tenderloin steaks (4 ounces each)
- 1/2 cup dry red wine or reduced-sodium beef broth
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
- 1 teaspoon each steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce and ketchup
- 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
- 4 ounces fresh baby portobello mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon minced chives, optional
Directions:
In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, brown steaks on both sides over medium-high heat. Remove and keep warm.
Reduce heat to medium. Add wine or broth to pan, stirring to loosen browned bits; cook for 2-3 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half. Combine flour and broth until smooth; whisk into the pan juices. Add steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup and mustard. Bring to a boil.
Return steaks to the skillet; add mushrooms. Cook 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°). Sprinkle with pepper, salt and chives if desired. Yield: 2 servings.
