1
Prepare the Filet Mignon
Season the filet mignon pieces generously with salt and crush the black peppercorns. Press the peppercorns onto both sides of each steak.
2
Cook the Steak
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the filet mignon and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from skillet and let rest.
3
Make the Cognac Cream Sauce
In the same skillet, pour in the cognac and scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Let it reduce by half, then add the heavy cream and stir until it thickens. Season with salt to taste.
4
Prepare the Sides
Boil or steam the potatoes until tender. Sauté the green beans in butter with minced garlic until tender-crisp.
5
Serve
Plate the filet mignon, drizzle with the cognac cream sauce, and serve with the potatoes and green beans.
