This elegant Filet Mignon is topped with a rich and creamy shallot peppercorn sauce, bringing together the flavors of seared steak, aromatic shallots, and a touch of Dijon mustard. Perfect for a special occasion or a gourmet dinner at home!
Ingredients:
4 filet mignon steaks
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
2 shallots, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup beef broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp green peppercorns, crushed
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions:
Season the Steaks: Generously season the filet mignon steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
Sear the Filets: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time for desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let the steaks rest.
Prepare the Shallot Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add finely chopped shallots and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Make the Sauce: Pour in the beef broth, stirring to deglaze the skillet and scrape up any browned bits.
Add the heavy cream, crushed green peppercorns, and Dijon mustard. Simmer the sauce until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
Finish the Dish: Return the seared steaks to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over them. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.
Serve: Plate the filet mignon, topping each with the rich shallot peppercorn sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
