My Go-To Filet Mignon Recipe
Forever and always my favorite steak recipe. ♡
Growing up, steak with peppercorn sauce was the ultimate “special occasion” dinner in our house. Back then, the sauce always came from a packet (hello, 90s!), but the meal felt incredibly fancy and celebratory.
Over the years, I’ve tweaked my own recipes for both the steak and the sauce until they’re as flavorful as possible, and I’m thrilled to share these final versions with you here today. The filets are pan-seared until tender and juicy, then basted with the most heavenly garlic-herb butter. And the French-inspired peppercorn sauce is irresistibly savory and creamy, with a gentle peppercorn crunch that makes you want to spoon it generously over the steak…and then keep drizzling it over the potatoes, veggies, and anything else on the plate.
I served this recipe at a family dinner a few weeks ago, and everyone gave it rave reviews and completely cleaned their plates (always the best sign!). So the next time you need a showstopping special-occasion steak recipe, I feel confident you’re going to love this one too!
