Smothered Filet Mignon Seared Filet Mignon with Caramelized Onion & Mushroom Gravy Ingredients: 2 (6 oz) filet mignon steaks Salt and black pepper to taste 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 tablespoons butter, divided 1 cup sliced mushrooms (cremini or button) 1 medium onion, thinly sliced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/4 tsp dried) 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 1/2 cup beef broth 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra richness) Directions: Season both sides of the filet mignon generously with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to your desired doneness. Remove and set aside to rest. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining butter, then sauté onions and mushrooms until softened and golden brown, about 8–10 minutes. Stir in garlic and thyme, cooking for 1 minute. Sprinkle in flour and stir constantly for 1 minute to create a roux. Gradually pour in beef broth, stirring until a smooth gravy forms. Add heavy cream if using, and let the sauce simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened. Return steaks to the pan and spoon the sauce over them. Let them heat through for 2 minutes. Serve immediately with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
