Filet Mignon

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filet Mignon

    Season the filet mignon with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Filet

    In a skillet, heat olive oil 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 it rest while preparing the sauce.

  3. 3

    Make the Peppercorn Sauce

    In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt the butter. Add minced shallots and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the Green Peppercorns

    Stir in the green peppercorns, then add the cognac. Allow to cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly reduced.

  5. 5

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in the heavy cream and beef broth, bringing to a simmer. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until thickened. Stir in chopped parsley.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Place the filet mignon on plates and spoon the peppercorn sauce over the top. Enjoy!
