Filet Au Poivre 6oz/8oz Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Filet

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

2. 2

   Sear the Filet

   In a heavy skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned filet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove the filet from the skillet and let it rest.

3. 3

   Make the Sauce

   In the same skillet, lower the heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the chopped shallots and sauté until translucent. Carefully pour in the brandy and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow it to simmer for 1-2 minutes.

4. 4

   Finish the Sauce

   Stir in the heavy cream and let the sauce simmer until it thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

5. 5

   Serve

   Slice the filet if desired and serve it topped with the peppercorn sauce alongside frites.
