Ingredients
Steak
4 Filet Mignon Steaks (About 6 0unces Each)
4 Tbsp King of Meat
3 Tbsp Crushed Peppercorns
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 Sprigs Rosemary
2 Sprigs Thyme
4 Garlic Cloves, Crushed
2 Tspb Butter
Sauce
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 Tsp Crushed Peppercorns
½ Tbsp King of Meat
¼ Cup Cognac
¾ Cup Heavy Cream
½ Cup Beef Broth
1 Tsp Dijon Mustard
Directions
Steaks
- Pull steak out 1 hour before cooking. Season the filet mignon steaks generously with crushed peppercorns and King of Meat seasoning, pressing the seasoning into the steaks. Rest at room temp until ready to cook.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the rosemary, thyme, garlic, and steaks and sear until they are well-browned on both sides and reach the desired level of doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
- Turn down the heat to low and add butter. Baste steaks with butter for one minute. Remove the steaks from the skillet and keep warm.
Sauce
- In the same skillet, heat to medium and add shallots. Sauté until soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the King of Meat seasoning and crushed peppercorns and cook for another minute.
- Pour in the cognac and beef broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer and reducing it by half, while scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard.
- Continue to simmer until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 7-10 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove herb stems
- Place each steak on a plate and spoon the sauce over the top. Serve and enjoy!
