Smothered Filet Mignon Seared Filet Mignon with Caramelized Onion & Mushroom Gravy Ingredients: 2 (6 oz) filet mignon steaks Salt and black pepper to taste 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 tablespoons butter, divided 1 cup sliced mushrooms (cremini or button) 1 medium onion, thinly sliced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/4 tsp dried) 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 1/2 cup beef broth 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra richness) Directions: Season both sides of the filet mignon generously with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to your desired doneness. Remove and set aside to rest. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining butter, then sauté onions and mushrooms until softened and golden brown, about 8–10 minutes. Stir in garlic and thyme, cooking for 1 minute. Sprinkle in flour and stir constantly for 1 minute to create a roux. Gradually pour in beef broth, stirring until a smooth gravy forms. Add heavy cream if using, and let the sauce simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened. Return steaks to the pan and spoon the sauce over them. Let them heat through for 2 minutes. Serve immediately with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.

Filipino scientists discovered a unique plant species on Luzon Island in the Philippines called Rinorea niccolifera, which is classified as a nickel hyperaccumulator. This plant can absorb and store up to 18,000 parts per million (ppm) of nickel in its tissues — approximately 1.8% of its dry weight — without suffering damage. This makes it part of a rare and scientifically valuable group of plants. The discovery was formally documented in the journal Phytotaxa by researchers from the University of the Philippines and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). Its capability is crucial for the field of phytoremediation, an eco-friendly method that uses plants to remove heavy metals from polluted soils, especially in regions affected by mining activities. Moreover, Rinorea niccolifera opens opportunities for agromining, or the harvesting of commercially valuable metals directly from plants. This method is seen as a cleaner alternative to traditional mining, potentially allowing for both soil restoration and economic gain.

Looking for a quick and creamy weeknight dinner? This Alfredo Chicken Skillet with Mushrooms and Spinach is rich, delicious, and ready in just 30 minutes! Ingredients: - 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces - 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced - 3 cups fresh spinach - 1 cup heavy cream - 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese - 2 tablespoons olive oil - 2 cloves garlic, minced - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning - Salt and pepper to taste Directions: 1.
