Ingredients
  

2 boneless sirloin steaks (1 inch thick)

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 shallot, finely chopped

1 cup mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1/2 cup beef broth

1/4 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons brandy or cognac (optional, for flambé)

Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Steak: Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.

    Sear the Steak: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove the steaks from the pan and keep warm, covering them loosely with foil.

      Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter, followed by the minced garlic and chopped shallot. Sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant.

        Add Mushrooms: Stir in the mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes until they soften and start to brown.

          Deglaze the Pan: If using brandy or cognac, carefully pour it into the pan and allow it to flambé (light it with a long lighter) for a brief moment to burn off the alcohol. Alternatively, skip this step if you prefer to omit alcohol.

            Make the Sauce: Add the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and beef broth to the pan. Stir well and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.

              Cream It Up: Lower the heat and gently stir in the heavy cream. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce is well combined and slightly thickened.

                Combine Everything: Return the steaks to the pan, turning them in the sauce to ensure they are well-coated. Cook for 1-2 minutes more to heat through.

                  Serve: Transfer the steaks to plates. Spoon the rich mushroom sauce generously over the top and garnish with fresh parsley.

                    Enjoy: Serve immediately with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or crispy roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
