Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Filet mignon steaks
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Shallots, finely diced
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine
- 0.5 cup Beef stock
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Remove the filet mignon steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. Pat them dry with paper towels.
Season both sides of the steaks with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the steaks into the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust.
Reduce the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks as they cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until they reach your desired doneness (medium-rare is 130°F/54°C).
Transfer the steaks to a plate, tent them with aluminum foil, and allow them to rest.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the shallots and garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the beef stock, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and thyme leaves. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Return the rested steaks to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cook for 1-2 minutes to warm the steaks through.
Plate the filet mignon steaks and drizzle them generously with the Dijon sauce. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
