Fillet Steaks With Wild Mushrooms and Shallots

Ingredients

2 6-oz (175-g) fillet steaks
1/2 tsp (2 mL) kosher salt
1/4 tsp (1 mL) freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp (25 mL) olive oil, divided
1 shallot, peeled and sliced
2 tbsp (25 mL) balsamic vinegar
1/2 lb (250 g) mixed wild mushrooms (e.g., cremini, portobello, oyster and shiitake), cleaned and sliced
1/2 cup (125 mL) dry red wine
1 tbsp (15 mL) oyster sauce
1 tsp (5 mL) chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Pat steaks dry. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then rub with half the olive oil.
  2. Heat a heavy skillet and brush with remaining olive oil. Add steaks and cook to medium rare—5 to 6 minutes per side if steaks are 1½ inches (4 cm) thick, or until a meat thermometer registers 130°F (55°C). Remove steaks from pan. Return pan to heat.
  3. There should be a little oil left in the pan; if not, add about 1 tsp (5 mL). Add shallots and cook for about one minute. Add vinegar. Cook, stirring, until vinegar evaporates and shallots begin to brown. Add mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes. Add wine. Cook on medium-high heat, stirring, until about half the wine has evaporated. Add oyster sauce and cook the mixture for a few minutes, until mush-rooms are glazed and there are a few tablespoons of sauce in the pan.
  4. To serve, top the steaks with mush-rooms and shal-lots. Sprinkle with parsley.
