Servings: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
For the Filet Mignon:
4 (6 oz) filet mignon steaks
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, smashed
2 sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
For the Creamy Parmesan Mustard Sauce:
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard (optional)
1 tablespoon butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the Filet Mignon:
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the filet mignon steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness.
During the last minute of cooking, add butter, smashed garlic, and thyme (if using) to the skillet. Baste the steaks by spooning the melted butter over them.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes, loosely tented with foil.
Make the Creamy Parmesan Mustard Sauce:
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and whole grain mustard (if using), and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Slowly whisk in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce becomes thick and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve:
Place the filet mignon steaks on plates and generously drizzle the creamy Parmesan mustard sauce over the top.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot, with your favorite sides.
Enjoy!
