🥘 Ingredients and Substitutes

• Beef Fillet. You can use any part of beef. Just ensure it cooks quickly.
• Seasonings. I used a simple mix of salt and black pepper but you can use and any other spices you prefer.
• Butter. I used the butter to fry the beef in it. If you want, you can fry the meat in oil, but choose a higher quality one.
• Mushrooms. I used brown champignons, but you can also use classic white champignons. Or you can use other types of mushrooms that you prefer.
• Garlic. I used fresh garlic to give extra flavor, but if you don’t have garlic on hand, you could replace it with dried granulated garlic, or omit it altogether.
• Heavy Cream. I advise you to use heavy cream because if you use a weaker cream, you risk that the sauce will separate.
• Mustard. I used whole granulated mustard, but you could also replace it with another type of mustard.
• Soy Sauce. Choose one that is not too salty. Or you could replace it with teriyaki sauce.

👩‍🍳 Step-by-step Directions

Cut the meat into approximately equal pieces and ensure that the surface of the meat is dry.

Quick Note: Use a paper napkin to remove excess liquids from the beef meat.

After that, put the meat on a plate and season it with salt and pepper on all sides.

Now, take a larger pan, melt the butter in it, and add the beef in the melted butter.

Fry the meat on high heat to seal the meat on all the parts with a crust to ensure that the internal juice of the meat will remain inside, and we will get juicier meat at the end.

Quick Note: This step should last around 8-10 minutes.

Pro Tip: If you want to avoid oil splashes, I recommend you use a splatter screen.

After that, take the meat out of the frying pan and put it aside on a plate.

In the frying pan in which you fried the meat, add the sliced mushrooms and garlic. Mix well and cook for 5-7 minutes on medium to high heat until the mushrooms are cooked.

Pro Tip: At this stage, you could also add thyme for an extra taste.

After the mushrooms are cooked, return the meat to the frying pan.

Now, pour heavy cream over all the ingredients. Mix well, cover with a lid, and let it cook on low heat for about 30 minutes.

Pro Tip: To cook the meat more evenly, after every 10 minutes, flip the beef meat from one side to the other.

Now, add the mustard.

Immediately after the mustard, add the soy sauce.

Mix well and cook on low heat until the sauce starts to boil.

The beef with mushrooms is ready to be served.

I served it with some slices of truffles to accentuate the taste of mushrooms.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

• Serve over mashed potatoes: The rich and creamy mushroom sauce pairs perfectly with smooth and buttery mashed potatoes.
• Serve over rice: The sauce also goes well with fluffy and fragrant steamed rice, which makes for a simple and comforting meal.
• Serve over pasta: For a heartier meal, serve the beef and mushroom sauce over pasta, such as egg noodles or fettuccine.
• Serve with roasted vegetables: Roasted vegetables such as crispy asparagus, carrot fries, or broccoli make a great side dish for this beef recipe, adding color and nutrition to the plate.
• Serve with a side salad: A simple side salad of greens, tomatoes, and cucumbers can add a refreshing and healthy touch to balance out the richness of the dish.

🏆 Expert Tips. What to Pay Attention To?

• Choose the right cut of beef: For this recipe, it’s important to choose a tender cut of beef that will cook quickly, such as sirloin or tenderloin. This will ensure that your beef is juicy and flavorful and won’t become tough when cooked.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan: When cooking the beef, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. If you add too much beef at once, it will steam rather than brown, resulting in a less flavorful dish. Cook the beef in batches if necessary.
• When making the sauce, use low heat to avoid curdling the cream. If the heat is too high, the cream may separate, and the sauce will not be as smooth and creamy.
• Before serving, be sure to taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You may need to add a little more salt or soy sauce, depending on your taste preferences.
• This dish is best served immediately while still hot. If you need to reheat it, do so gently over low heat to avoid overcooking the beef or curdling the sauce.
