Filet Mignon with Creamy Peppercorn Sauce
A luxurious, tender steak topped with a rich, creamy peppercorn sauce perfect for any special occasion or gourmet dinner.
📝 Ingredients
For the Steak:
4 filet mignon steaks
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
Fresh chives or parsley, for garnish
For the Sauce:
1 tbsp butter
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 tsp crushed peppercorns
½ cup beef broth
½ cup heavy cream
Salt, to taste
🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Steaks
Season the filet mignon steaks with salt and black pepper. Let them rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
2. Sear the Steaks
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Sear the steaks for about 3–4 minutes on each side for a medium-rare finish. In the last minute of cooking, add 1 tbsp butter to the skillet and baste the steaks with the melted butter. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.
3. Make the Peppercorn Sauce
In the same skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter. Add the chopped shallots and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the crushed peppercorns and cook for 30 seconds.
4. Add Broth and Cream
Pour in the beef broth and bring it to a simmer. Cook until the liquid has reduced by half, about 4–5 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your liking.
5. Serve
Spoon the creamy peppercorn sauce over the rested steaks. Garnish with fresh chives or parsley for an added burst of color. Serve with roasted asparagus or your favorite side dish.
