Serve with Potatoes Lyonnaise and Creamed Spinach, and pair the dish with a hearty red wine. Steak: 4 (4-ounce) beef tenderloin steaks, trimmed (1 inch thick) 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 garlic clove, minced 1 tablespoon butter Mushrooms: 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots 1 pound large button mushrooms, quartered 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/4 cup dry white wine 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1/8 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley To prepare steaks, sprinkle beef evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Rub 1 minced garlic clove over both sides of steaks. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add steaks; cook 3 minutes on each side until browned or until desired degree of doneness. Remove steaks from pan; keep warm. To prepare mushrooms, add shallots and mushrooms to pan; saute 4 minutes or until lightly browned. Add 2 garlic cloves; saute 30 seconds. Add wine, Worcestershire, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon salt; cook 3 minutes or until liquid is nearly evaporated. Remove pan from heat, and stir in parsley. Serve mushroom mixture with steak.
