A delicious, romantic and easy dish to serve on a special day. Valentines Day is a perfect day to surprise someone special in your life!
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
In a large oven safe skillet (cast iron works great), heat 1 Tablespoon butter. Add mushrooms and cook until they are tender, about 5 minutes. Once browned, remove to a bowl and set aside.
Season fillets with salt and pepper
In the same skillet, heat remaining butter and 1 Tablespoon olive oil over high heat. Add the steaks. Cook until very seared, about 3 minutes then flip and sear another 3 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for about 8 minutes for medium.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. The handle will be HOT. Place a towel or oven mit over the handle to remind yourself not to grab the handle!
Remove steaks to a plate and loosely cover with foil. Allow steaks to rest while you are making the cream sauce.
While steaks are resting, place the skillet back on the stove. You should have enough oil in the pan, but if not add another Tablespoon of butter. Add shallots and allow to soften, about 2 minutes. Add mustard and cream and whisk until combined and the sauce begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and add parsley.
When ready to serve spoon a couple Tablespoons of sauce on each plate. Place the steak on the sauce and top with mushrooms.
Serve with steamed green beans and a simple salad.
