1 ¼cupsheavy cream

Instructions
Prepare the Beef:
Remove the beef from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This ensures more even cooking. Pat the beef dry with paper towels and season it generously with sea salt.
Sear the Beef:
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick or cast-iron pan over high heat until it's shimmering.
Sear the beef undisturbed on each side for about 6 minutes, or until it reaches your desired internal temperature.
Remove from the pan, cover with foil, and set aside to rest.
Make the Mushroom Sauce:
In the same pan, reduce to medium heat. Add shallots, garlic, and mushrooms, sautéing until soft and golden.
Transfer them to a small bowl.
Add white wine, rosemary, and thyme to the pan, reducing the wine by half.
Stir in the cream and mustard, whisking well. Bring the sauce to a simmer and add the mushrooms back in.
Finish the Dish:
Return the rested beef and any accumulated juices to the pan.
Warm the beef in the sauce briefly, then serve.
Notes
Beef Temperature: Bringing the beef to room temperature before cooking is key for even searing and doneness.
Resting the Beef: Allow the beef to rest after cooking to retain juices and enhance tenderness.
Sauce Adjustments: Modify the sauce thickness by altering the simmering time or cream amount as needed.
Mushroom Varieties: Experiment with different mushroom types for unique flavors and textures.
