Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Filet Mignon steaks
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons green peppercorns, drained
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup red wine
Instructions
- Season the steaks by generously seasoning your filet mignon steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Heat up the skillet by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Sear the steaks in the hot skillet for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
- Let the steaks rest on a plate to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Simmer the red wine in the same skillet until reduced by half, scraping up browned bits.
- Combine cream, green peppercorns, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce into the pan.
- Create the final sauce by cooking until thickened, then taste and adjust seasoning.
- Serve the filet mignon topped with the creamy peppercorn sauce.
Notes
Make sure your skillet is hot enough for a beautiful sear. Letting the steaks rest after cooking ensures juiciness.
