Filet Mignons with a Creamy Peppercorn Sauce
Ingredients List
-
¼ cup coarsely crushed black peppercorns
-
4 (6 ounce) 1 1/2 inch thick filet mignon steaks
-
salt to taste
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
1 teaspoon olive oil
-
⅓ cup beef broth
-
1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
-
Place the peppercorns in a shallow dish. Season the beef filets with salt on both sides, then press the crushed peppercorns into the meat until well-coated.
-
Heat the butter and olive oil in a heavy skillet (avoid nonstick) over high heat until the butter foams. Add the steaks, cooking them for about minutes on each side until they are firm and the center is a juicy reddish-pink, with an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C). Transfer the steaks to a platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
-
Pour the beef broth into the hot skillet and use a whisk to lift the flavorful browned bits from the pan. Stir in the cream and simmer the sauce for 6-7 minutes until it thickens. Return the steaks to the skillet, turning them to coat in the sauce, then serve with extra sauce on the side.
Chef's Tip
For a more cost-effective option, buy a whole tenderloin and slice the steaks yourself.
