Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

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

  2. 2

    Sear the Steak

    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 doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the chopped shallots and sauté for about 2 minutes until translucent. Pour in the demi-glace and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream and dry sherry. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Return the seared filet mignon to the skillet, spoon the sauce over the steaks, and simmer for an additional 2 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
