  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
 
  • 4 filet mignon steaks, each about 225 grams and 4 centimeters thick, trimmed of excess fat

Mushrooms

  • 225 grams button mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 grams roughly chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
  • 1 teaspoon sherry or red wine vinegar

Special Equipment

  • spice mill
  • 30.5-centimeter cast-iron skillet

Instructions

  • In a spice mill, whirl the tea leaves, peppercorns, tarragon, salt, and thyme until finely ground. Pour the spice mix into a bowl, add the oil, and stir to make a paste.
  • Brush all sides of each filet mignon steak with the paste. Let stand at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Before you grill the steaks, prepare the mushrooms and have all the other ingredients in place. Cut the mushrooms lengthwise into 6-millimeter slices.
  • Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat (180° to 230°C).

  • In a 30.5-centimeter cast-iron skillet over high heat (on your grill’s side burner or on your stove), melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the mushrooms and spread them out in a single layer so that most of them are touching the bottom of the skillet. Cook the mushrooms without moving them for 2 minutes. Stir the mushrooms, and then add the garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms are barely tender, 2 to 3 minutes, stirring 2 or 3 times. Add the parsley and vinegar. Mix well. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if needed. Spoon the hot mushrooms over the steaks. Serve warm.
