Filet Mignon with Creamy Peppercorn Brandy Sauce
Ingredients:
8 ounce fillet mignon, (4 of these)
2 tablespoon minced shallots
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon cracked peppercorns
4 tablespoon brand,
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup demi-glace, if you don’t know what this is, you can buy it, but you can look it up for a recipe on Google, but it’s easier to buy premade from a store. This is where I buy mine-----> http://www.morethangourmet.com/
1 tablespoon butter
salt to taste.
Preparation:
Season the fillet mignon and broil them to the desired doneness.
In the mean time, heat the butter in a skillet and saute the shallots and garli****il soft.
Deglaze with the brandy, but make sure to keep your face away from the skillet in case it catches fire.
Add the peppercorns, cream and demi-glace and reduce the sauce. Finish the fillet mignon in the skillet with the sauce for 1-2 minutes and serve with the peppercorn and brandy sauce on top.
