This is a wonderful steak recipe. You can omit the cayenne if desired, my family loves spicy so I add it in.

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons oil, divided
1 lb white button mushrooms, thinly sliced (can use less)
1/2 cup minced shallot, divided (about 3 shallots)
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic (or to taste)

This dish was delicious, but it was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and the filet mignon was very fatty. I would recommend using a leaner cut of beef and making a lighter sauce.

I'm not a huge fan of mushrooms, but I loved this dish! The sauce was so creamy and flavorful, and the mushrooms were cooked perfectly. The filet mignon was also very tender and juicy. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

This dish was a bit more work than I expected, but it was worth it. The sauce was amazing and the filet mignon was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again, but maybe for a special occasion.

Absolutely delicious! The creamy Madeira sauce was the perfect complement to the tender filet mignon and mushrooms. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. My guests raved about it and I will definitely be making this dish again.
