BEEF TENDERLOIN FILET WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE
Steps:
- For the beef tenderloin: Preheat a saute pan or cast-iron skillet over high heat. Lightly oil the steaks. Place the steaks in the very hot pan and get a good sear on both sides. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove the steak from the pan and let rest in a warm spot for 7 to 8 minutes.
- For the mushroom sauce: Drain the fat from the pan. Add the shallots, bring the pan to a medium heat and season with salt. Cook the shallots for 3 to 4 minutes, and then add in the garlic. Cook the garlic and shallots together for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms, season with salt and stir to coat with the oil. Cook the mushrooms until they look soft and wilted, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the veal demi-glace. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes; the consistency should be almost as thick as gravy. If it is still thin, let it simmer for another couple of minutes until it does thicken.
- Check the consistency by coating a spoon with the sauce, turn the spoon over and draw a line down the middle of the spoon with your finger. If your finger leaves a track down the spoon without moving, then it is ready! Taste and adjust the salt, if needed.
- For the twice-baked potato mash and green beans: Add the potatoes to a pot of salted water. Turn the heat to medium and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes well and pass through a food mill or ricer. Stir in the sour cream and heavy cream. Fold in the broccoli and Cheddar. Taste and season with salt as needed.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until just tender, about 2 minutes. Remove from the water and immediately add to a salted ice bath. Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan. Add green beans and saute quickly until heated through.
- Serve the filets with the mushroom sauce on top and the twice-baked potato mash and green beans on the side.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add crimini mushrooms, shallots, garlic, and shiitake mushrooms; saute until soft, about 3 minutes. Add wine and reserved 1/2 cup mushroom soaking liquid; simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 4 minutes. Add broth; simmer until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 4 minutes. (Sauce can be made 2 hours ahead. Set aside at room temperature.) Toast mustard seeds in heavy small skillet over medium heat until seeds begin to pop, about 3 minutes. Cool slightly. Transfer to spice grinder and blend until coarsely ground. Transfer to shallow bowl. Mix in five-spice powder, salt, and pepper. Preheat oven to 400. Heat remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons oil in another heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle steaks with mustard seed mixture. Cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure to have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Season the Beef Tenderloin Generously: Don't be afraid to season the beef tenderloin liberally with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Sear the Beef Tenderloin in a Hot Pan: Searing the beef tenderloin in a hot pan will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the meat while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure that the beef tenderloin is cooked to your desired doneness, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meat.
- Let the Beef Tenderloin Rest Before Slicing: After cooking the beef tenderloin, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help to redistribute the juices throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Make the Mushroom Sauce While the Beef Tenderloin Rests: This will help you save time and ensure that the sauce is hot and ready to serve when the beef tenderloin is done.
