Step 1
Pat the 2 beef tenderloin steaks dry and season both sides with the 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2
Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the steaks and sear until browned, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add the 4 oz sliced mushrooms to the hot skillet and cook, stirring, until golden and softened, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Return the steaks to the skillet with any juices. Add 1/4 cup water and scrape up browned bits; simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Place each steak on a slice of crusty bread, spoon the mushrooms and pan sauce over the top, and serve.
