1. Pat dry the filets with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper; set aside.

5. Return the filet mignon to the skillet including the juices accumulated while resting and spoon mushroom sauce over to warm them up. After about 1 ½ minutes, transfer the steak to warm serving plates while finishing the sauce.
6. Add chives and parsley to the sauce; stir quickly and then pour sauce over steaks. Serves 2.
