| 1. In a fry pan over medium high heat, add a splash of olive oil and half a teaspoon of butter. | 2. Season the beef tenderloin with salt and pepper and add to pan. | 3. Add the clove of garlic and sprig of fresh thyme. | 4. Slowly roast the beef tenderloin on all sides, turning routinely every 2 to 3 minutes. | 5. To cook the beef tenderloin medium, this should take approximately 10 to 12 minutes. | 6. Once roasted nicely, golden brown, remove the beef tenderloin and keep warm off to one side. | 7. Pick out the garlic and thyme, return the pan to the heat, and add a splash of cognac and flame so as to allow the alcohol to burn off. | 8. Add the chicken stock and reduce by two- thirds, then add the cream and simmer gently to reduce and thicken by half. | 9. Season with salt and pepper and keep sauce warm on one side. | 10. Using a clean fry pan, over high heat, quickly sauté your choice of assorted mushrooms that have been picked over and cut into hazel nut size pieces. | 11. Sauté in a splash of olive oil and butter. | 12. Season with salt and pepper; this should take 3 to 4 minutes for the mushrooms to soften and release some juices. | 13. Arrange beef tenderloin& mushrooms on your plates, then drizzle sauce around the mushrooms and a little over the tenderloin. | 14. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
