Filet mignon with green peppercorn sauce
- 15 grams unsalted butter
- 20 ml brandy
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 2 beef tenderloins (200g each ca.)
- 1 tbsp green peppercorn in brine
- 200 ml double cream/heavy cream
- (Optional) Use butcher's twine to tie up the tenderloins in a round shape, this will help them cook evenly
- Crush 3/4 of the peppercorns with a meat hammer or a rolling pin
- Press peppercorns on the tenderloins, both sides.
- Save some of them for later.
- Melt butter on a frying pan and cook tenderloins as you like it.
- I like them medium, 4 minutes each side
- Keep the tenderloins warm (on a hot plate or under an aluminum foil)
- Pour brandy and mustard in the same frying pan you used before
- Stir and cook on low heat for 1 minute
- Add double cream and the green peppercorns you saved before
- Cook on low heat until thicken
- Put the tenderloins in the frying pan with the sauce you just made, few seconds are enough
