Beef Medallions With Saucy Shiitakes

Beef Medallions With Saucy Shiitakes


1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium skillet (ideally not nonstick) over medium-high heat.

2. Season the beef with salt and pepper.

3. Add the medallions to the pan and cook about 3 minutes on each side, for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

4. Remove beef from pan and set on plates or a platter in a warm spot.

5. Add the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil to the skillet.

6. Add the shiitakes and cook over medium-low heat, until soft, about 4 minutes.

7. Add the shallots, garlic, and salt and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes.

8. Pull the skillet from the heat, add the Cognac, and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits that cling to the pan.

9. Return to the heat and cook until the liquid is reduced, about 1 minute. (If you are cooking over a gas flame the alcohol may flame, simply cook until the flames die down.).

10. Add the chicken broth, and cook until saucy, about 2 minutes more.

11. Remove from the heat, stir in the sour cream and parsley, and season with salt and pepper.

12. Spoon mushrooms and sauce over the medallions and serve.
