Filet Mignon

Peppercorn Sauce

Gorgonzola Crust

Method

Cooking the Filet Mignon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filet

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

  2. 2

    Sear the Filet

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the filet mignon and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Add butter to the pan during the last minute of cooking and baste the steaks with the melted butter.

  3. 3

    Rest the Filet

    Remove the filet from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Making the Peppercorn Sauce

  1. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add shallots and whole peppercorns, sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 5

    Deglaze the Pan

    Pour in red wine and scrape the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Cook until the wine is reduced by half.

  3. 6

    Finish the Sauce

    Add heavy cream and beef broth, stir and simmer until the sauce thickens. Season with salt to taste.

Making the Gorgonzola Crust

  1. 7

    Mix the Crust

    In a bowl, combine crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, breadcrumbs, parsley, and softened butter. Mix until well combined.

  2. 8

    Top the Filet

    Spread the Gorgonzola mixture on top of each filet mignon and place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the crust is golden and bubbly.
