• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button)
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• ¼ cup beef or chicken broth
• ¼ cup heavy cream
• 2 tbsp Boursin cheese (garlic & herb flavor works best)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Steaks
   Pat filet mignon dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
2. Sear the Filets
   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear for 3–4 minutes per side (or to desired doneness). Remove to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
3. Cook the Mushrooms
   In the same skillet, melt butter. Add mushrooms and cook for 3–4 minutes until browned. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
4. Make the Sauce
   Pour in broth and scrape up any browned bits. Add heavy cream and Boursin cheese, stirring until smooth and creamy. Simmer for 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Finish and Serve
   Return steaks to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
