4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
4 large garlic cloves, chopped
3 large shallots, chopped (about 2/3 cup)

FOR STEAK:

Salt and pepper steak on both sides and edges.  Place in preheated iron skillet.  Sear for five minutes on sides and edges or until charred.
Place steak, in skillet, in a 350-degree oven for 25 minutes or to desired texture.

FOR SAUCE:

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, shallots and thyme; and cut mushrooms sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add flour; stir for 1 minute. Add broth and wine. Boil until sauce thickens and is reduced to less than 1 cup, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat and add the extra 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir until incorporated and spoon over sliced beef tenderloin.
