Equipment

  • Cast Iron Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 4-6 ounce filet mignon steaks
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon Ground black pepper
  • ½ cup flour for dusting
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
  • 2 cups mushrooms sliced- cremini and white button
  • 1 shallot finely chopped
  • 2 garlic finely chopped
  • 3-4 sprigs fresh thyme leaves removed and roughly chopped
  • ½ cup Marsala wine
  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken stock
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a medium sized cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and evenly season the steaks with salt and pepper on all sides and dredge in flour, shaking off the excess.
  • Once the skillet is hot, sear the steaks for 2 minutes per side until both sides are deeply charred, then remove and set aside to a plate.
  • In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium add butter and more olive oil if needed and the sliced mushrooms. Saute the mushrooms for 4-5 minutes until they begin to deepen in color.
  • Add the chopped shallots and continue sautéing for another 2-3 minutes until the shallots begin to soften and become fragrant.
  • Add the chopped garlic and herbs and continue sautéing for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Pour the marsala wine in and let the wine reduce slightly, while scraping the bottom of the skillet.
  • Then pour in the chicken stock and bring everything up to a strong simmer and let the liquid reduce for 1-2 minutes.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and 1 tablespoon of butter and stir everything together. Nestle the steaks back into the creamy marsala sauce, with any accumulating juices and baste the sauce onto the steak.
  • Continue cooking on a low simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly and to warm through the steaks, for another 3-4 minutes.
  • Once done, remove from the heat and let the steaks rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with finely chopped parsley and serve the steak marsala with the creamy mushroom sauce.

Notes

Dry the Steaks: Achieve a perfect sear on your filet mignon by patting the steaks dry with paper towels before seasoning. Brown the Mushrooms: When sautéing the mushrooms, take the time to get a nice sear. Don't Rush the Reduction: Let the Marsala wine simmer and reduce to concentrate its flavors for a rich sauce.
