Ingredients
Steaks:
- Vegetable oil cooking spray
- 2 (8-ounce) filet mignon steaks
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Gravy:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large or 4 small shallots, minced
- 2 cups (about 5 ounces) assorted mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake and button, coarsely chopped
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup dry Marsala wine
- 1 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Directions
Steak: Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a small baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray. Set aside. Season the steaks with salt and pepper, to taste. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and brown on all sides, about 4 minutes. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes on a cutting board.
Gravy: In the same skillet used for the steak, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and mushrooms and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook until the shallots are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and scrape up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Stir in the beef broth and rosemary. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until half of the liquid has evaporated and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Cutting across the grain, slice the steak into 1/4-inch thick slices and arrange on a platter. Pour the sauce into a serving bowl and serve alongside the meat.

This is outstanding!! The mushroom gravy is easy to make...followed the directions as written, and it came out just right.
Of note, I found that I needed a 3rd filet (for a total of 1 1/2 lbs of beef to feed 4 people. It also took longer than 10 minutes---probably closer to 20 minutes, to cook. Keep an eye on it with an instant read thermometer.
It was the perfect Christmas Eve dinner. Thanks Giada.

Being a Tx girl, steak is like THE meal priority in my house. I'm always on a quest for a great steak recipe and this is IT! Especially since I can cook it instead of my hubby(The grill king. With teenagers who don't like to eat anything that doesn't look familiar, I stuck with button mushrooms. However, I'm going to sneak some shitake in and see if they notice! LOL I also used a Merlot instead of the Marsala. However, I'm going to use the Marsala next time to compare.
