Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (6-ounce) beef tenderloin steaks (1–1/2 inches thick)
- 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (coarsely ground)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup shallots (finely chopped)
- 2 large cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/3 cup red wine
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- garnish: chives
Instructions
- Gather the ingredients.
- Rub Worcestershire sauce evenly on both sides of the filet mignon steaks, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large heavy skillet or cast iron pan over high heat until very hot, but not smoking. Add 1 tablespoon butter and swirl to coat the pan.
- Brown steak 3 to 5 minutes on one side, then turn and cook an additional 3 to 5 minutes on the other side to medium-rare doneness. Turn only once, and remove steaks.
- Make a tinfoil tent over the filet mignon to rest the meat and keep warm.
- Add the shallots and garlic to the same skillet used to cook the meat (without cleaning it), stirring for 30 seconds.
- Carefully pour in the wine and stir, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom, for about 2 minutes.
- Add broth and bring to a slow boil. Cook for 3 minutes.
- Add heavy cream and cook until sauce begins to thicken, from 3 to 5 minutes.
- Whisk in Dijon mustard until smooth.
- Return steaks to the pan and warm for 1 minute. Sprinkle with finely chopped chives before serving.
Notes
Ensure the pan is hot enough before adding the steaks for a perfect sear.
Let the steaks rest before slicing to keep them juicy.
Chives can be substituted with parsley for a different garnish.
