Ingredients
- 4 steaks filet mignon
- 2 tbsp whole-grain mustard
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
- 1Bring the filet mignon to room temperature to ensure even cooking.
- 2Season the filet mignon steaks generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- 3Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the filet mignon steaks and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until a nice brown crust forms.
- 4Remove the filet mignon from the skillet and set aside on a plate to rest.
- 5Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the whole-grain mustard and Dijon mustard. Whisk until smooth.

- 7Return the filet mignon to the skillet, spooning some of the mustard sauce over the top of each steak.
- 8Let the filet mignon cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
- 9Remove the filet mignon from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- 10Serve the sliced filet mignon with the rich mustard sauce spooned over the top.
