Method

Cooking the Filet Mignon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steaks

    Take the filet mignon steaks out of the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Steaks

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks to the pan and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness. Adjust cooking time to your desired level of doneness.

  3. 3

    Rest the Steaks

    Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, loosely covered with aluminum foil.

Making the Pepper Sauce

  1. 4

    Sauté Shallots

    In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and sauté until they are translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

  2. 5

    Deglaze the Pan

    Add the cognac to the skillet, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Allow the cognac to reduce for about 1 minute.

  3. 6

    Add Broth and Cream

    Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to reduce by half, then stir in the heavy cream and green peppercorns. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Slice the filet mignon and plate it, then drizzle the pepper sauce over the steaks before serving.
