This is also the perfect meal for Valentine's Day with that special someone. Serve your filets with a side of au gratin potatoes and roasted broccoli with my mudslide brownie parfaits for dessert! You cannot go wrong :)
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients:
- 3/4 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced

- Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons flour

- Meanwhile, in another large skillet, heat the remaining butter with a splash of olive oil over medium-high heat. (If you have a high-heat frying pan like an All-Clad pan, lower the temperature to medium or slightly lower)
