‼️Exquisite Seared Filet Mignon in Shallot Peppercorn Cream Sauce‼️
Indulge in the ultimate dining experience with this perfectly seared filet mignon, served with a rich and creamy shallot peppercorn sauce. This dish is pure elegance on a plate!
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
½ cup beef broth
½ cup heavy cream
2 tbsp green peppercorns, crushed
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
🍽️ Instructions:
Prepare the Steaks:
Season the filet mignon steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
1️⃣ Sear the Filets:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for that perfect medium-rare, or until your preferred doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest.
2️⃣ Sauté the Shallots:
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots and sauté for about 3 minutes until they become translucent and fragrant.
3️⃣ Add Garlic:
Stir in minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until aromatic.
4️⃣ Deglaze with Broth:
Pour in the beef broth, stirring to deglaze the skillet and scrape up all those tasty browned bits.
5️⃣ Create the Creamy Sauce:
Stir in heavy cream, crushed green peppercorns, and Dijon mustard. Let the sauce simmer and thicken for about 5 minutes, filling your kitchen with amazing aromas.
6️⃣ Finish the Steaks:
Return the filet mignon to the skillet, spooning that luxurious sauce over the steaks. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.
7️⃣ Serve:
Serve your filet mignon topped with the creamy shallot peppercorn sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness if desired.
Notes:
For an extra touch of decadence, add a splash of brandy to the sauce before simmering. This dish pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes or steamed asparagus for a truly exquisite meal.
