Filet with Cognac Cream Sauce is a luxurious and indulgent dish that is perfect for special occasions or a romantic dinner for two. This dish is made with tender filet mignon, which is cooked to perfection and then topped with a rich and creamy cognac sauce that is sure to impress your guests.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 4 filet mignon steaks (6-8 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup cognac
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
To start, season the filet mignon steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until it is softened. Add the cognac to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until it has reduced by half. Add the heavy cream to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook the sauce for 3-4 minutes, or until it has thickened and is heated through.
To serve, place the filet mignon steaks on a plate and spoon the cognac cream sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
This Filet with Cognac Cream Sauce dish is a perfect combination of tender and juicy filet mignon with a rich and creamy cognac sauce. The dish is best served with a side of roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes to balance out the richness of the sauce.
