Method

1. Cut the fillet into slices about 1 cm thick
2. Place the fillet pieces between two sheets of parchment paper and lightly pound them with a meat mallet until they become thinner and wider, then sprinkle salt and spices on both sides
3. In a heavy-based pan, heat 5 tablespoons of oil and fry the fillet slices, pressing them while frying until they brown and cook well on both sides
4. Prepare the mushroom sauce in the same pan... add the butter and garlic and sauté until softened
5. Add the whole and chopped mushrooms and sauté until the mushrooms become darker in color
6. Add the cooking cream and the stock or water.. and let the sauce simmer over low heat for 4 to 5 minutes
7. Then, place the grilled steak pieces that we set aside into the sauce and let them simmer briefly
8. Pour the steak with mushroom sauce onto a serving dish and garnish with parsley.. or you can place the steak on a plate and the sauce in a separate bowl
9. Serve the steak with mushroom sauce with roasted potatoes or boiled or sautéed vegetables, etc.
