INGREDIENTS

  • Filet Mignon

    • 2 (4 ounce) 1 1/2 inch thick filet mignon steaks
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 🧂 salt to taste
  • Garlic Shrimp Cream Sauce

    • 🧈 2 tablespoons butter
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 large shallot, minced
    • 🧄 2 tablespoons minced garlic
    • ¼ cup Chardonnay wine
    • 🍤 ½ pound uncooked shrimp - peeled, deveined, and cut into 3 pieces
    • 🥛 ¼ cup heavy cream
    • 🧈 1 tablespoon butter
    • 🧂 salt and pepper to taste

STEPS

1

Heat a heavy steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of each filet with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Gently place the filets into the hot skillet, and cook until they start to become firm and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130°F (54°C). Set the filets aside to rest, covered loosely with foil.

2

Melt 2 tablespoons butter with 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the skillet over medium heat until the foam subsides from the butter. Cook and stir the shallot and garlic until tender, about 2 minutes. Pour in the wine, and cook and stir until the wine reduces by half, about 3 minutes.

3

Stir in the shrimp, cream, 1 tablespoon of butter, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Cook and stir until the sauce is thickened and velvety and the shrimp are pink, about 2 minutes.

4

To serve, place filets on serving plates, and top each with half the shrimp sauce. Sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.

💡 Ensure the skillet is very hot before cooking the steaks for a proper sear.Resting the steak after cooking locks in the juices for better flavor.Serve immediately for the best texture and taste of the shrimp sauce.For variations, try substituting Chardonnay with another dry white wine or use chicken stock for a non-alcoholic option.
