8-oz Center-cut Filet Mignon Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Béarnaise Sauce

   In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the cooled reduction. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and whisk continuously until the mixture thickens. Slowly drizzle in the melted butter while whisking until the sauce is smooth and emulsified. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Keep warm.

2. 2

   Cook the Filet Mignon

   Preheat your grill or skillet over high heat. Season the filet mignon with salt and black pepper on both sides. Add olive oil to the skillet if using a skillet. Sear the filet mignon for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.

3. 3

   Serve

   Remove the filet mignon from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Plate the steak and drizzle the warm tarragon Béarnaise sauce over the top. Serve immediately.
