This decadent Filet Mignon in a Sherry Mushroom Cream Sauce is one of my favorite restaurant meals. The best part is, you can make it 30 minutes! The rich and luscious sauce is the perfect companion to tender filet mignon. This sauce is the stuff dreams are made of. It’s creamy and rich with an earthiness from the mushrooms and just a touch of sweetness from the sherry. And this is no time to wimp out – spring for the good sherry from the liquor store. It’s worth it. Trust me.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Mushroom Moisture Magic 💦
Pat mushrooms completely dry before sautéing to ensure proper caramelization and prevent steaming instead of browning.
Sherry Selection Secrets 🍷
Use a high-quality dry sherry from the liquor store, not cooking sherry, to achieve a more complex and refined sauce flavor.
Steak Searing Technique 🔥
Use a cast-iron skillet for the most even heat distribution and achieve a perfect golden-brown crust on your filet mignon.
Cream Sauce Consistency Trick 🥄
Slowly whisk in cold butter at the end of sauce preparation to create a silky, emulsified texture without breaking the sauce.
Flavor Layering Strategy 🧅
Deglaze the pan with sherry after searing the steak to capture all the delicious browned bits for maximum depth of flavor.
