Ingredients
2 Filet Mignon Steaks (6-8 oz each)
2 tbsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Heavy Cream (60 ml)
2 tbsp Dijon Mustard (30 ml)
1 tbsp Butter (14 g)
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/4 cup Dry White Wine (60 ml) –optional, but adds depth
1/4 cup Beef Broth (60 ml)
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
- Pat the filet mignon steaks dry with paper towels. This is crucial for achieving a good sear. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the steaks.
- Carefully place the steaks in the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.A reading of 130-135°F will indicate medium-rare.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside to rest on a plate, tented with foil. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender steak.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- If using white wine, deglaze the pan by pouring it into the skillet. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan –these bits are packed with flavor.Let the wine reduce slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream. Stir in the Dijon mustard. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it thicken slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.The Dijon mustard can vary in saltiness, so adjust accordingly.
- Remove the skillet from the heat.
