Description
A luxurious filet mignon topped with a rich and creamy Parmesan mustard sauce, perfect for special occasions or a comforting dinner at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 filet mignon steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Preheat your skillet: Place a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil and butter, allowing them to melt together.
- Season the steaks: Generously season both sides of the filet mignon with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Sear the steaks: Once the oil shimmers, add the steaks to the skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
- Let them rest: Remove the steaks and place them on a plate to rest.
- Craft the sauce: In that same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
- Add the creamy elements: Stir in heavy cream, followed by freshly grated Parmesan cheese and Dijon mustard. Allow the sauce to thicken.
- Serve: Plate the filet mignon with a generous helping of creamy Parmesan mustard sauce drizzled atop.
Notes
For best results, let the steaks rest after cooking. You can also prepare the sauce ahead of time and reheat it gently.
