Ingredients

3/4 tsp coarsely ground black pepper

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp salt

4 beef tenderloin steaks (5 oz), about 1-inch thick

2 Tbsp canola oil

4 large shallots, peeled and finely chopped

6 oz sliced portabella mushrooms

3/4 cup strong coffee

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Directions

Preheat oven to 200F.

In small bowl, combine black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and 1/4 tsp salt. Sprinkle both sides of steaks with spice mixture, pressing down with fingertips to adhere. Set aside. Let stand for 15 minutes.

Heat 1 Tbsp canola oil in large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steaks 4 minutes, turn and cook 2-4 minutes longer or until desired doneness. Place steaks on separate plate and place in oven to keep warm.

Heat remaining 1 Tbsp canola oil to pan residue in skillet, cook shallots 15 seconds, stirring constantly. Add mushrooms and cook 3 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently, using two utensils as you would with stir-fry. Spoon equal amounts over beef and return to oven to keep warm.

To skillet, add coffee, vinegar and remaining 1/4 tsp salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, continue to boil 4 or so minutes or until reduced to 1/4 cup. Spoon over all and top with additional coarsely ground black pepper, if desired.
