Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to platter and tent with foil.

Bring sauce to simmer skillet. Remove from heat. Gradually whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Add reserved mushrooms and stir over low heat until mushrooms are heated through, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Place steaks on plates. Spoon sauce and mushrooms over and serve.
