Let them sit at room temperature for about 15\u201320 minutes before cooking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sear the steaks:<\/strong> Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear for about 3\u20134 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add flavor:<\/strong> Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter, smashed garlic, and fresh thyme. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks for about 1\u20132 minutes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check doneness:<\/strong> For the most accurate result, use a meat thermometer. Remove the steaks around <strong>125\u2013130\u00b0F for medium-rare<\/strong>, <strong>135\u2013140\u00b0F for medium<\/strong>, or according to your preferred doneness. Transfer to a plate and loosely cover with foil. Let them rest for 5\u201310 minutes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cook the asparagus:<\/strong> In the same skillet, add olive oil and asparagus. Season with salt and pepper and saut\u00e9 for 4\u20136 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender-crisp. Add minced garlic during the final minute. Remove and set aside.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make the mushroom sauce:<\/strong> Add butter to the skillet. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4\u20135 minutes until browned and tender. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Create the sauce:<\/strong> Pour in the beef broth and scrape up the flavorful browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 2\u20133 minutes, then add the heavy cream and Italian seasoning.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Finish the sauce:<\/strong> Simmer gently for 3\u20135 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and season with salt and black pepper to taste.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serve:<\/strong> Place each filet mignon on a plate with the asparagus. Spoon the creamy mushroom sauce over and around the steak. Garnish with fresh parsley.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Serving Tip<\/h3>\n<p>Serve immediately with mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up every bit of the creamy mushroom sauce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Filet Mignon with Creamy Mushroom Sauce &amp; Asparagus Tender, perfectly seared filet mignon served with a rich, creamy mushroom sauce&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7907,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7906","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7906","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7906"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7906\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7908,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7906\/revisions\/7908"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7907"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7906"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7906"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
