    Meanwhile, make the mushroom cream sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté until softened and lightly browned. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute more, until fragrant. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and chicken stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, 5-7 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat and cover to keep warm until ready to serve.

    Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and cover with foil. Let rest for 10 minutes.

    Slice the steaks against the grain, then transfer to a serving platter and spoon the mushroom cream sauce on top. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
