Instructions

Pat beef dry and season with salt and pepper.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Sear beef in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add mushrooms and sauté 5–7 minutes until browned.

Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir to coat. Cook 1 minute.

Gradually stir in beef broth, then add cream, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper.

Simmer the sauce until slightly thickened, then return beef to the skillet. Simmer 5–7 minutes until heated through.

Garnish with parsley and serve over mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice.

Notes

Substitute sirloin or ribeye if tenderloin isn’t available.

Add a splash of red wine for deeper flavor.

Use half-and-half or Greek yogurt for a lighter version.

For gluten-free, substitute GF flour or cornstarch and ensure broth and Worcestershire are GF.

Best reheated gently with a splash of broth or cream to loosen the sauce.
