The ingredients needed to make Steak with tarragon mushroom sauce:

1. Prepare Steak of your choice (I used flank, but rib or sirloin work too)
2. Make ready 500 g white or brown mushrooms
3. Make ready 1 shallot, finely chopped
4. Take 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
5. Make ready 1/2 cup brandy
6. Prepare 1/2 cup beef stock
7. Make ready 2 tbsp fresh tarragon, chopped
8. Take 1/4 cup heavy cream

It tastes heavenly when poured over your fillet of steak. This steak is perfect for a romantic dinner. The beef is cooked simply but served with a sophisticated mushroom, garlic and tarragon white wine sauce. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board to rest.

Steps to make Steak with tarragon mushroom sauce:

1. The night before, season the steak with salt and place it uncovered in the fridge. This allows the salt time to penetrate the meat, and the cool air dries out the surface of the steak, allowing for a better crust. Take the steak out of the fridge about 20 minutes before cooking.
2. Add a knob of butter and a splash of olive oil to a large pan on high heat. Sear the steak to your liking (I go about 4 minutes per side, depending on thickness). Remove the steak to a plate and tent it loosely with foil to rest.
3. Add the mushrooms to the pan and fry until they release water, about 2 minutes. Let the liquid cook off, then add the shallot and garlic. Fry about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add the brandy to the pan. Let the alcohol boil off, then add the beef stock. Simmer until the liquid reduces by about half, about 2 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the tarragon and cream. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve the mushrooms and sauce on the side, or spoon it onto the steak.

The beef is cooked simply but served with a sophisticated mushroom, garlic and tarragon white wine sauce. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board to rest. Top each serving with an equal amount of the tarragon butter and serve immediately. Steak served with a sophisticated but easy pan sauce of shiitake mushrooms, tarragon, white wine, shallot and butter. Impress your sweetheart with this dish!

Try Using Food to Boost Your Mood

Many of us think that comfort foods are bad for us and that we have to keep away from them. But if your comfort food is candy or junk food this holds true. Other times, though, comfort foods can be totally nourishing and it’s good for you to consume them. Some foods really do boost your mood when you eat them. If you are feeling a little bit down and you’re needing an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.

Eggs, believe it or not, can be really great at beating back depression. Just make sure that you don’t throw away the yolk. The yolk is the most essential part of the egg iwhen it comes to helping raise your mood. Eggs, the egg yolks in particular, are high in B vitamins. B vitamins can truly help you raise your mood. This is because they help improve the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that control your mood. Try eating a few eggs to feel better!

Put together a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Your mood can be elevated by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera. This is because these nuts are rich in magnesium, which helps to raise serotonin levels. Serotonin is referred to as the “feel good” chemical substance and it tells your brain how you should be feeling day in and day out. The higher your serotonin levels, the more pleasant you will feel. Not just that but nuts, particularly, are a great source of protein.

Cold water fish are great if you are wanting to feel happier. Cold water fish like tuna, trout and wild salmon are high in DHA and omega-3s. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that promote the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s the truth: consuming tuna fish sandwiches can truly help you fight your depression.

Some grains are really excellent for fighting off bad moods. Quinoa, barley, millet, etc are great at helping you feel better. They fill you up better and that can help improve your moods too. Feeling hungry can be a real downer! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are easy for your stomach to digest. You digest these foods faster than other things which can help promote your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel better, mood wise.

Green tea is excellent for moods. You were just anticipating to read that here, weren’t you? Green tea is loaded with a specific amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies have found that this amino acid essentially stimulates brain waves. This will better your brain’s concentration while simultaneously calming the rest of your body. You were already aware that that green tea helps you be better. And now you know it can help raise your mood as well!

So you see, you don’t need to eat junk food or foods that are bad for you to feel better! Try these tips instead!
