  • Preparation: 10 min
  • Cooking: 15 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (330 g)
  • Difficulty: Hard
  • Diets: High protein, Low carb
  • Contains: alcohol, beef, celery, dairy, fish, gluten, mustard

Ingredients

  • 160 g Beef tenderloin, raw
  • 15 g Butter, unsalted
  • 50 g Mushrooms, white button, raw
  • 15 g Shallots, raw
  • 6 g Worcestershire sauce
  • 5 g Mustard
  • 30 g Cream, heavy
  • 15 g Spirits
  • 30 g Beef broth
  • 1 g Salt
  • 0.5 g Black pepper
  • 2 g Parsley, fresh

Method

  1. Season the steak with the salt and pepper and flatten it slightly.
  2. Melt half the butter in a hot pan and sear the steak for 1.5-2 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your preferred doneness, then remove and rest.
  3. Add the remaining butter to the pan with the shallots and mushrooms, and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  4. Carefully add the spirits and let them bubble for a few seconds to cook off some of the alcohol, standing back as it may flame briefly; stir in the Worcestershire sauce, mustard and beef broth, scraping up the browned bits, and simmer for 2 minutes, then stir in the cream and simmer until slightly thickened.
  5. Return the steak and any resting juices to the pan to warm through, then plate it with the sauce and mushrooms spooned over and a scatter of chopped parsley.
