Step 1
Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Sear steaks 2 minutes per side without moving. Interior should feel firm but springy when pressed.
Step 4
Move steaks to a plate to rest. Add mushrooms and shallot to the same skillet, cook 3 minutes stirring occasionally until golden.
Step 5
Pour red wine into the pan and scrape up browned bits with a wooden spoon. Add thyme and simmer 2 minutes until reduced by half.
Step 6
Stir in butter and mustard until silky. Nestle steaks back in, spoon gravy over top, and serve immediately.
