Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2-ounce package dried morels, or 6 ounces fresh morels plus 1/2 cup beef broth
2 6-to 8-ounce beef tenderloin steaks
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter, divided
3/4 cup chopped green onions
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon dry Marsala

Steps:

  • If using dried morels, place in 2-cup measuring cup. Add enough hot water to reach 1 1/2-cup mark; let soak until soft, about 20 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup soaking liquid. Cut morels in half if large.
  • Meanwhile, sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add steaks and cook to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to plates.
  • Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter to skillet; add morels and green onions and sauté until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add cream, 1 tablespoon tarragon, Marsala, and reserved 1/2 cup morel soaking liquid or beef broth; simmer until thickened to light sauce consistency, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over steaks, sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon tarragon, and serve.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The beef was a bit dry and the sauce was too salty. I'm not sure what went wrong.

Overall, this dish was a success. The beef was tender and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful. However, I found that the morels were a bit too overpowering for my taste. Next time, I would use less of them.

I wasn't sure how the morels would taste, but they were actually quite delicious! They added a nice earthy flavor to the dish. The sauce was also very good, and the tarragon gave it a nice herby flavor.
