Ingredients:

For the Steak:

2 ribeye or filet mignon steaks (about 1-inch thick)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
For the Mushroom Sauce:

2 tbsp butter
2 cups sliced mushrooms (cremini or button)
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup beef broth
1/4 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)
For the Mashed Potatoes:

4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup milk
3 tbsp butter
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

Prepare the Mashed Potatoes:
In a large pot, boil the potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash with milk, butter, salt, and pepper until creamy. Set aside and keep warm.
Cook the Steaks:
Season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and butter. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove steaks from the skillet and let them rest.
Make the Mushroom Sauce:
In the same skillet, add butter and sliced mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms are golden and softened, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Pour in the beef broth and let it simmer until reduced slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream, season with salt and pepper, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Assemble:
Plate the mashed potatoes, place the steak on top, and spoon the mushroom sauce over the steak.
Garnish with fresh chopped chives and serve immediately.
Enjoy this comforting and elegant meal!
