Instructions:
-
Prepare the Mushroom Mixture:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms, shallot, and minced garlic to the skillet.
- Saute the mixture until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender, which should take about 10 minutes.

Cook the Steaks:
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Season the beef tenderloin steaks with salt and pepper.
- Add the steaks to the skillet and saute them until they’re browned on both sides, approximately 1 1/2 minutes per side.

Assemble the Steaks:

Melt the Cheese:
- Cover the skillet and return it to medium-high heat.
- Allow the cheese to melt over the steaks, which should take about 1 minute.
- Once melted, transfer the steaks to serving plates and tent them with foil to keep warm.
-
Prepare the Mushroom Sauce:
- Return the remaining mushroom mixture to the skillet.
- Pour in the dry Marsala wine and bring the mixture to a boil.
