Seared Filet Mignon

SEARED FILET MIGNON WITH SHALLOT PEPPERCORN CREAM SAUCE 🍷✨

Ingredients:

• 2 filet mignon steaks
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 shallots, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup brandy
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon crushed black peppercorns

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Steaks:
   Season the filet mignon steaks generously with salt and pepper.
2. Sear the Steaks:
   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the time according to your preferred doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest.
3. Prepare the Shallot Peppercorn Cream Sauce:
   In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the chopped shallots and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Pour in the brandy and cook until it reduces by half. Stir in the heavy cream and crushed peppercorns, and let the sauce simmer until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
4. Serve:
   Spoon the rich shallot peppercorn cream sauce over the seared filet mignon and serve immediately.
