Paste

2 teaspoons (about 2 tea bags) Earl Grey tea leaves
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

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.

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.
