Ingredients

  • 2 filets steak
  • 8 oz mushrooms
  • 1 bunch asparagus
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 to taste salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Season the 2 steaks with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over high heat until sizzling, then sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, until browned and firm to the touch.

  2. 2

    Remove the steaks and set aside. In the same skillet, add the 8 oz sliced mushrooms and cook over medium-high until golden and softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Pour in the 1/2 cup heavy cream and stir, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes, then season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    In a separate pan, heat the remaining 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add the 1 bunch asparagus and cook, turning occasionally, until bright green and tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve the steaks topped with the mushroom sauce and the asparagus on the side.
