How to Make Mushroom and Beef Tenderloin Recipe
- Prepare the butter by combining the chopped herbs and softened butter in a bowl.
- Place the butter herb mixture into a piece of plastic wrap and then roll it into a log and place it into the fridge.
- Spray a cast-iron skillet with cooking spray and preheat over medium-high heat.
- Sprinkle your beef tenderloins with salt and pepper and then place them into the hot skillet.
- Sear the tenderloins for 2-3 minutes per side.
- Continue to cook for an additional 7 minutes per side or until the inside of the beef is medium-rare. The time needed will vary depending on the size and thickness of the beef.
- While that is cooking, prepare the mushrooms by heating another skillet over medium heat. Add in the oil.
- Stir in the garlic and cook the mushrooms until they are just beginning to soften. This should take about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and balsamic vinegar.
- Serve your tenderloins with the butter the softened mushrooms.
- Enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Each side is seared for just 2 -3 minutes. Followed by a browning for another 7 minutes or so depending on the thickness of your tenderloins. Cooking the beef this way allows for a good crust to form on the outside. The outer layer of beef will cook perfectly while the center stays tastefully pink.
- In regards to the butter, I used rosemary, basil, and thyme; I like how these herbs taste with both the beef and the mushrooms, but you could substitute oregano or even parsley for any of the herbs. I would be sure to use fresh herbs if possible.
- Prepare your butter in advance, but let it come to room temperature just before serving.
FAQs
Do I have to cook steak in a cast iron skillet?
Nope! I just love to use cast iron skillets because I like how they conduct heat and cook everything evenly, but you can use any skillet sized pan that you have on hand.
What can I use instead of portobello mushrooms?
You could use baby Bella mushrooms instead of the thick and meaty portobellos, but I love how the woodsy taste of the portobellos tastes with the tender beef and the herbs in the butter.
What goes well with steak and mushrooms?
Some great side dishes to include with your meal would be cooked green vegetables like asparagus, leeks, or broccoli. Serving a nice baked potato with this meal could also be a wonderful idea!
