Filet Mignon

Garlic Spinach

Au Poivre Sauce

Method

Prepare the Filet Mignon

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Sprinkle salt and crushed black peppercorns evenly on both sides of the filet mignon. Press the seasonings into the meat.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

  3. 3

    Sear the Steak

    Add the filet mignon to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Add butter during the last minute of cooking and baste the steak.

  4. 4

    Rest the Steak

    Transfer the steak to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Make the Garlic Spinach

  1. 5

    Sauté the Garlic

    In another skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  2. 6

    Cook the Spinach

    Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

Prepare the Au Poivre Sauce

  1. 7

    Sauté the Shallots

    In the same skillet used for the steak, melt butter over medium heat. Add finely chopped shallots and sauté until translucent, about 2 minutes.

  2. 8

    Deglaze the Pan

    Carefully add brandy or cognac to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Allow to reduce slightly, about 1-2 minutes.

  3. 9

    Add Cream and Broth

    Stir in heavy cream and beef broth. Bring to a simmer and let cook until slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
