Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Seasoning
- 1 pound beef tenderloin tips, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Mushroom Gravy
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup sliced onions
- 1 teaspoon garlic paste
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare and Season Beef: Cut beef tenderloin into 1-inch cubes. Generously season with kosher salt and black pepper. Set aside and let come to room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- Sear the Beef: Slice onions and mushrooms. Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Add a single layer of beef chunks to the skillet (cook in batches to avoid overcrowding). Sear meat until browned on one side, about 2 minutes, then flip and cook until the internal temperature reaches 120°F. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
- Cook Mushrooms and Onions: Reduce heat to medium. Melt butter in the pan, then add mushrooms and onions. Sauté until tender and fragrant.
- Create the Gravy Base: Sprinkle flour over the sautéed mushrooms and onions and stir to coat evenly. Add garlic paste, ground sage, and thyme; mix well.
- Add Liquids and Thicken: Gradually pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce while stirring continuously. Allow the mushroom gravy to simmer and thicken for approximately 5 minutes.
- Finish Cooking the Beef: Return the seared beef tenderloin tips to the skillet with the mushroom gravy. Cook until the beef reaches an internal temperature of 130°F, ensuring it is cooked to medium-rare.
- Final Touches: Remove the skillet from heat, stir in the heavy cream, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
