Steps:
- Trim all outside fat off the steak. The steak should now weigh about 12 ounces.
- Cut the steak in half horizontally, creating 2 6-ounce steaks.
- Pound the steaks lightly to flatten them to 1/4-inch thick. Season them on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Heat a 12-inch skillet until a drop of water dances on the surface.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the butter. As soon as the foam subsides, add the seasoned meat.
- Cook on each side for 1 minute. Remove to a plate. Immediately adjust the heat under the pan to low.
- Add the second tablespoon of butter and the shallots. Sauté the shallots for 1 minute.
- Increase the heat to high. Add 3 tablespoons cognac and flambé, if desired.
- Add the wine, and with a wooden spoon, scrape up any browning in the pan (deg laze the pan). Stir in the mustard and A-1 sauce.
- Cook for about a minute, or until the liquid is reduced to a syrup. Add the broth and continue to boil for about a minute, until reduced to a few tablespoons.
- Add the cream and stir well to incorporate. Boil a few seconds.
- Taste for seasoning and add freshly ground pepper to taste. Add the remaining cognac and ignite. When the flames die down, stir in the chives, taste for salt and pepper, and adjust if necessary.
- Add the reserved steaks and their juices (that have accumulated on the plate) to the simmering sauce.
- Turn the steaks in the sauce a couple of times, as the sauce reduces a little more. Place the steaks on individual plates.
- Divide the sauce on the steaks. Serve with mashed potatoes or brown rice, and some bread to mop up the sauce.

Steps:

- Add the beef stock to a saucepan and reduce over medium-high heat to 1/2 cup, about 1 hour.
- Sprinkle the steaks on both sides with the salt and pepper. In a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and the olive oil. When the butter has melted and the oil shimmers, add the steaks. Brown the steaks on both sides, 3 minutes per side. Transfer the steaks to a plate and set aside, lightly covered with foil.
- Add the mushrooms and shallots to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, adding oil if needed. Add the garlic. When the garlic is lightly colored, add the brandy (be careful, it can ignite). Add the wine, mustard, Worcestershire and the reduced beef stock. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes more. Return the steaks to the pan and finish cooking them to the desired temperature, 2 to 4 minutes, depending upon the size of the filets and desired temperature/doneness. For medium-rare, cook to 135 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the sauce to melt.
- To serve, place a steak on each plate and pour the sauce over the steak.

Tips:
- To ensure the best results, use high-quality ingredients. Look for well-marbled cuts of steak, such as ribeye or strip loin. Use fresh herbs and spices, and choose a flavorful brandy.
- Tenderize the steak before cooking to help break down the fibers and make it more tender. You can do this by pounding it with a meat mallet or marinating it in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs.
- Cook the steak over high heat to quickly sear the outside and lock in the juices. Once the steak is seared, reduce the heat and cook it to your desired doneness.
- Make sure to baste the steak with the cooking juices while it cooks. This will help keep it moist and flavorful.
- When making the sauce, use a good quality beef broth and add plenty of shallots, mushrooms, and herbs. Reduce the sauce until it is slightly thickened and flavorful.
- Serve the steak immediately with the sauce spooned over top. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives.
