Filet Mignon

Signature Side (Choice of)

Method

Preparing the Filet Mignon

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Generously season the 8 oz prime filet mignon with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  3. 3

    Sear the Steak

    Add the seasoned filet mignon to the hot skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned.

  4. 4

    Cook to Desired Doneness

    Flip the steak and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time to achieve desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Making the Peppercorn Sauce

  1. 6

    Sauté Shallots

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

  2. 7

    Add Peppercorns

    Stir in the fresh cracked peppercorns and cook for an additional minute, allowing the flavors to infuse.

  3. 8

    Deglaze with Beef Broth

    Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Bring to a simmer and reduce by half, about 5 minutes.

  4. 9

    Finish with Cream and Worcestershire

    Stir in the heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  5. 10

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve immediately over the filet mignon.

Preparing the Signature Side

  1. 11

    Choose a Side

    Select your choice of side from garlic mashed potatoes, roasted asparagus, or sautéed mushrooms.

  2. 12

    Prepare Side Dish

    Follow specific preparation instructions for your chosen side dish. For example, boil and mash potatoes, roast asparagus with olive oil, or sauté mushrooms with garlic.
