FILET MIGNON WITH WHISKEY CREAM SAUCE



Filet Mignon With Whiskey Cream Sauce image

For those that must sauce their filet but are not willing to sacrifice their good wine, this recipe is amazing. I would venture to say that it will meet, if not rival, your favorite restaurant's offerings. My recipe calls for cracked black pepper, but I also like to use coarsely chopped peppercorns as an alternative. Additionally, substituting toasted fennel seeds for the rosemary works very well. Cooking time is approximate.

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (1/2 lb) beef tenderloin steak (about 1 pound total)
salt
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon rosemary
olive oil
butter
3/4 cup beef broth
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1/2 ounce whiskey
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon stone ground mustard
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Bring filets to room temperature.
  • On a plate combine the pepper and rosemary.
  • Salt both sides of filets, then press one side into pepper mixture to form a crust.
  • In a very hot, heavy skillet add a little olive oil (this will keep the butter from burning) and butter (for flavor).
  • Sear filets until desired doneness is reached. (About 6 minutes on each side for large filets to reach medium rare.).
  • Remove to cutting board to rest for 5 to 10 minutes (this will allow time for the juices to redistribute and stay in the meat instead of on your plate).
  • For the sauce, combine broth and pepper. Reduce to half.
  • Add whiskey, cream and mustard; reduce to desired amount.
  • Remove from heat and swirl in butter. Allow to cool slightly to thicken.
  • Serve steaks whole or slice thinly and top with sauce.

Time consuming, but just as good, if not better than any high-end restaurant recipe." Make it we did and it was awesome! We made a few slight changes; personal preference!. Make the sauce the day ahead, it is too time consuming and is best out of the way. However, it IS worth the effort! It was fantastic! ;)

Tips:

  • To ensure the best results, select high-quality filet mignon steaks that are at least 1 inch thick.
  • Pat the steaks dry with paper towels before seasoning them. This will help the seasonings adhere better and create a more flavorful crust.
  • Generously season the steaks with salt and pepper. You can also use other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs.
  • Let the steaks rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. This will help them cook more evenly.
  • Sear the steaks in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are browned and have a nice crust.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook the steaks for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
  • Let the steaks rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and make the steaks more tender.
