=== 🍽🍸🥩 RECIPE ===
2 - 10-ounce (283g) Boneless rib-eye steaks or beef tenderloin
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 large shallot, finely minced
1 clove of garlic, finely minced
4 ounces (113g) mushrooms, sliced
4 scallions (green and white) sliced, greens reserved
2 ounces (60ml) cognac or brandy
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
6 ounces (180ml) beef stock
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3 ounces (90ml) heavy cream (or half & half)

Salt & Pepper

Pat steaks dry and season with salt and pepper.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on their thickness. (You may have to do the steaks in batches.) Place on a plate, cover loosely with foil, and set aside.

In the same skillet, melt the butter. Once melted, add the shallots, white part of the scallions, garlic, and the mushrooms. Season with a little more salt and pepper, and sauté for 3-4 minutes over medium-high heat until the mushrooms begin to give off some of their liquid.

Turn off the heat, and add the brandy. Using a long match or lighter, light the brandy and flambé. After the flames die down, add the stock, mustard, Worcestershire, and cream. Cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken. Add the green part of the scallions at the very end.

To serve, spoon the sauce over the steaks.
