  • 1 tbsp grainy mustard
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ cup beef broth

  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp chives or parsley, chopped

Instructions/Directions

  1. Season the steaks: Generously sprinkle salt and black pepper over the beef tenderloin steaks.
  2. Sear the steaks: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat. Sear the steaks for 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Set aside on a plate and keep warm.
  3. Prepare the sauce: Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the skillet. Add the minced shallots and sauté for about 1 minute. Stir in the sliced cremini mushrooms and cook until they soften and turn golden brown.
