Ingredients
-
Steak Ingredients
-
2 filet mignon filets
-
1 tsp salt
-
1 tsp pepper
-
1 tsp garlic powder
-
1 tsp onion powder
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
Sauce Ingredients
-
1 tbsp unsalted butter
-
1 shallot, diced
-
2 tsp dijon mustard
-
1 cup beef broth, low sodium
-
1 tbsp Worcestshire sauce
-
2 tbsp heavy cream
-
1 tsp parsley
-
1 tsp thyme
Instructions
Trim fat from the filets and cut into 1/4 inch cutlets.
In a gallon ziplock bag, add the salt, pepper, garlic pepper and onion powder. Place the steak cutlets into the bag and shake well, ruffling the bag to seperate the steak pieces and making sure that the meat is well coated.
Lay the steaks out for about 30 minutes to let them come to room temperature before cooking. Heat a large skillet over medium/high heat and add the steak to the pan. Do not overcrowd the pan, cook in batches if necessary. Cook the steak to your desired internal temperature.
Once cooked through, remove steak and keep warm.
In the same skillet, add butter and melt. Add the shallots and cook until translucent.
Add the beef broth, dijon and Worcestshire sauce and bring to a boil. Cook the sauce until it is reduced to your desired thickness.
Reduce heat and add the heavy cream. Once combined, add the filet cutlets, make sure to pour any of the juice from the steak back into the pan. Let the cutlets and sauce heat through.
Turn off the heat and add the parsley and thyme.
