Ingredients

  • 2 steaks (6 oz each) filet mignon steaks
  • 8 oz, sliced cremini mushrooms
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp caviar
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 to taste salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the 2 filet mignon steaks dry and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
