Filet Mignon with Creamy Mushroom Sauce

Filet Mignon with Creamy Mushroom Sauce:
Ingredients:
·      Filet mignon
·      Bell or Porcini Mushrooms
·      Sour Cream
·      Yellow Onion
·      White flour
·      Salt/pepper to taste
Directions:
Meat: Season each piece of filet mignon with paprika, black pepper and salt. Cover each side with a bit of olive oil, wrap with saran wrap and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes. After the time is up, bake the meat in the oven on 350 degrees for 15-30 minutes depending on the meat preparation style (rare, medium rare, medium etc)
Sauce: Cut bell mushrooms into circles and boil in water until soft. Remove the mushrooms from the broth. Set the mushroom broth aside. Chop the onions and cook them in olive oil on the stove. Add mushrooms when onions become soft. Cook together until mushrooms become golden. Add some broth to cover the mushrooms. Cook for 15-20 minutes. Add flour for thicker texture. Add sour cream and cook for another 5 minutes to create the final sauce. Set aside.
After the meat is ready pour the sauce on top of each filet mignon and serve.
