Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) filet mignon (tenderloin steaks)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 pieces chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup beef stock
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 4 pieces optional garnish: fresh cilantro sprigs
Directions
Step 1
Pat the filet mignon steaks dry with a paper towel. Season all sides evenly with salt and black pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the steaks. Sear each side for 2-3 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking the steaks for an additional 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness.
Step 3
Remove the steaks from the skillet and set them aside on a plate. Tent with foil to keep warm while preparing the chipotle sauce.
Step 4
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 5
Add the chipotle peppers and mash them slightly with the back of a spoon. Stir in the heavy cream and beef stock, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet (this enhances the flavor). Simmer the sauce for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Step 6
Stir in the fresh cilantro and lime juice. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Step 7
Return the steaks to the skillet, spooning the chipotle sauce over them, and let them warm through for 1-2 minutes.
Step 8
Plate each steak, pouring a generous amount of the chipotle sauce over the top. Garnish with a sprig of cilantro if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
