1⁄2 cup port (red wine, it will cook off, or you can skip it!)
3 cups beef stock
1 lb. green beans, steamed or roasted
Directions
Pat the beef tenderloin steaks dry and season both sides with paprika, salt, pepper, chili powder, basil, and thyme.
Heat a large skillet over high heat. Sear the steaks for 30 seconds on each side until browned. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the onions to the skillet. Stir frequently, cooking for 8–10 minutes until the onions are lightly caramelized.
Add the minced garlic and stir for 1 minute. Pour in the port (red wine) to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Return the steaks to the skillet. Pour in the beef stock, ensuring the steaks are partially submerged. Simmer on medium heat for 6 minutes or until the steaks reach your desired level of doneness.
While the steaks are simmering, steam or roast the green beans until tender (3–5 minutes).
Plate the steaks with the mushroom-onion mixture and green beans. Serve warm and enjoy!
