Instructions:
1. Prepare the Steak:
Season the filet mignon steaks generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust to your preferred doneness.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet during the last minute of cooking and baste the steaks with the melted butter for added flavor.
Remove the steaks from the skillet, cover with foil, and let rest.
2. Make the Peppercorn Sauce:
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Sauté the minced shallots until soft and translucent.
Stir in the crushed peppercorns and cook for 1 minute.
Deglaze the skillet with white wine or brandy, scraping up the browned bits for extra flavor. Let it reduce slightly.
Add the beef broth and simmer for 2 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and simmer until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
3. Assemble the Dish:
Place the rested steaks on a serving plate and generously spoon the creamy peppercorn sauce over the top.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
