Instructions:

- Season the beef fillets generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

- Allow the mixture to simmer for about 3-5 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by half.
- Return the beef fillets to the skillet, spooning some of the mushroom and wine sauce over them.
- Let the fillets cook in the sauce for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Sprinkle the finely chopped chives over the beef and mushroom mixture.
- Serve the beef fillets hot with a generous amount of the mushroom and red wine sauce. Pair with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad.
