Ingredients
- steak - watch the video to see (preferably fillets)
- salt - to taste
- black pepper - to taste
- butter - watch the video to see
- thyme - watch the video to see (a little bit)
- mushrooms - watch the video to see
- shallots - watch the video to see

- crème fraîche - watch the video to see

Instructions
- Cook the Steak: Season the steak with salt and pepper, then sear in a hot pan. Flip halfway through to ensure a nice crust on both sides. Once a crust has formed, turn the heat down and add butter to the pan.
- Add Thyme: Add a little bit of thyme to the pan with the steak.
- Rest the Steak: Once the steak is cooked to a medium rare (or to your liking), let it rest for about 10 minutes.
- Prepare the Sauce: In the same pan, add mushrooms and shallots. Once they have a bit of color, deglaze the pan with brandy. After the alcohol has evaporated, add beef stock and let it reduce slightly.
- Finish the Sauce: Stir in crème fraîche to the reduced mixture in the pan. Season with a good hit of black pepper.
- Serve: Serve the rested steak with the mushroom sauce poured over it.
