Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) filet mignon steaks
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 medium shallots, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup port wine
• 1 cup beef stock
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Directions

Step 1

Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before cooking.

Step 2

Season both sides of each filet mignon steak with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare or 5 minutes per side for medium. Adjust cooking time based on your desired doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and tent them with foil to keep warm.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the chopped shallots and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 6

Deglaze the pan by pouring in the port wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. Allow the port to simmer and reduce by half, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Add the beef stock and thyme leaves to the skillet. Continue simmering for another 5 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.

Step 8

Stir in the Dijon mustard and heavy cream. Cook for 2 more minutes, whisking constantly, until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 9

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Return the filet mignon steaks to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top, and cook for 1-2 minutes, just to reheat the steaks gently.

Step 11

Transfer the filet mignon to serving plates and drizzle generously with the port and mustard sauce. Serve immediately, paired with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
