Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- Brush the filets with olive oil, and cook on the preheated grill to desired doneness (about 4 minutes per side for medium rare). An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Set the steaks aside on a platter tented with aluminum foil to rest.
- While the steaks are resting, prepare the sauce: cook and stir the chopped bacon in a small saucepan over medium heat until the bacon pieces are crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the butter and shallots, and cook and stir until the shallots are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes more.
- Stir in the half-and-half, bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve over the steaks.

Steps:
- Place the peppercorns into a shallow bowl. Sprinkle the beef tenderloin filets with salt on both sides, and coat both sides with crushed peppercorns.
- Melt the butter with the olive oil over high heat in a heavy skillet (not nonstick) until the foam disappears from the butter. Gently place the steaks in the pan, and cook until they start to become firm and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 3 1/2 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove the steaks to platter, and cover tightly with foil.
- Pour the beef broth into the skillet, and use a whisk to stir the broth and scrape up any dissolved brown flavor bits from the skillet. Whisk in the cream, and simmer the sauce until it's reduced and thickened, 6 to 7 minutes. Place the steaks back in the skillet, turn to coat with sauce, and serve with the remaining sauce.

Steps:
- 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 degrees F (54 degrees C). Set the filets aside to rest, covered loosely with foil.

Steps:
- A seared filet mignon is, without a doubt the most tender of the steaks. It's cut from the beef tenderloin. A muscle that runs along the back of the cow, which does very little work (relative to the rest of the cow), and that is what makes it so tender. It is also among the most lean cuts of beef, with very little inter-muscular fat or connective tissue. That lack of fat means two very important things. First, a more mild flavor; delicious, but nothing that's going to blow your socks off. And second, a proclivity to feel a bit dry while eating. Fortunately, both of those issues can be greatly improved with the addition of a filet mignon sauce aka, a steak sauce. Now, if you must, you can break out the A1. But you'd be committing a terrible sin. However wonderful, that alpha-numeric sauce may be, if you're going to pay the big bucks for a prime piece of filet mignon, learn how to cook it perfectly, then I'd really suggest that you take a bit of extra time, to come up with an equally perfect sauce. Below are some of my favorite steak sauces, which work particularly well with filet. Some are very simple. Some a bit more complex. Take note, that one thing almost all of my filet mignon sauces have in common, is a good amount of fat. As I mentioned above, since filet is so lean, it benefits from a bit of fat, like butter or cream. Leave the more acidic/tangy steak sauces for the fatty cuts, like ribeye. Best Sauces for Filet Mignon Peppercorn (Au Poivre) Sauce Perhaps the most traditional sauce for a filet and a stable for French cooking. I like to use very coarsely crushed black peppercorns, cooked with a bit of shallot and cognac, and then finished with some cream. Béarnaise Sauce Another French sauce, béarnaise has shallots and tarragon as its main flavor components, which are then turned into a thick creamy sauce with the addition of egg yolk and butter. If I don't have the time to make the real deal, I "cheat" a bit by making a simple tarragon butter. Rosemary Butter Sauce Maitre 'd butters got very popular in the 80's. They are a simple combination of butter and "something". In this case, I finely chop some rosemary and mix it with the butter. Slathering some on a just-cooked filet mignon, letting it melt all over as the steak rests, is a terrific way to add flavor. Blue Cheese Sauce or Crust There are a few different ways to add blue cheese to a filet. The salty, tangy, fatti-ness of the cheese matches perfectly with the lean meat flavors. I usually mix a bit of butter and blue cheese together and allow it to melt onto the steak after cooking, but making a sauce with some cream, or adding some bread crumbs and making a topping during the last few minutes of cooking are also great options. Bordelaise - Red Wine Sauce Red wine & filet mignon go wonderfully well together. So a sauce with a good Bordeaux (cabernet and/or merlot grapes) at its heart is a perfect match. For this sauce, reduce a cabernet based wine with some good beef stock and shallots. Finish with some fresh butter to thicken. Awesome!
FILET MIGNONS WITH COGNAC-CREAM SAUCE
DH and I had this recipe for dinner last night and loved the spicy cream sauce for our filets. I am posting the recipe as it appears in the Williams-Sonoma "Steak and Chop" book; however, DH and I grilled our steak on the BBQ and DH added a bit of steak fat that he chopped off of the filet to the pan on the stovetop for the cream sauce.

Steps:
- To make the rub, in a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, mustard, rosemary, salt and black pepper. Sprinkle the rub all over the meat, reserving 1 Tb. Let the steaks stand at room temperature for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour, or cover and refrigerate overnight. Bring to room temperature, if necessary, before cooking.
- In a large, heavy frying pan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the steaks and cook to the desired doneness, turning once, 3-5 minutes on each side.
- Transfer the steaks to a platter and let rest, tented loosely with aluminum foil, while you make the pan sauce.
- To make the sauce, in the same frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add the shallot and parsley and saute until the shallot is softened, 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the pan from heat and add the Cognac.
- Briefly return to the heat to warm; then remove from the heat again to ignite the Cognac using a long kitchen match, making sure the overhead fan is off and averting your eyes. Keep a lid handly in case the flame should flare up.
- When the flame has burned out, return the pan to high heat and whisk in the mustard, tomato paste, reserved 1 Tb rub, and beef stock.
- Cook, whisking often, to reduce the sauce by half, 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the cream and cayenne to taste.
- Add any accumulated juices from the steaks. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
- To serve, spoon a generous amount of sauce over the steaks and serve at once. Pass any extra sauce at the table.
FILET MIGNON WITH WHISKEY CREAM SAUCE
For those that must sauce their filet but are not willing to sacrifice their good wine, this recipe is amazing. I would venture to say that it will meet, if not rival, your favorite restaurant's offerings. My recipe calls for cracked black pepper, but I also like to use coarsely chopped peppercorns as an alternative. Additionally, substituting toasted fennel seeds for the rosemary works very well. Cooking time is approximate.

Steps:
- Bring filets to room temperature.
- On a plate combine the pepper and rosemary.
- Salt both sides of filets, then press one side into pepper mixture to form a crust.
- In a very hot, heavy skillet add a little olive oil (this will keep the butter from burning) and butter (for flavor).
- Sear filets until desired doneness is reached. (About 6 minutes on each side for large filets to reach medium rare.).
- Remove to cutting board to rest for 5 to 10 minutes (this will allow time for the juices to redistribute and stay in the meat instead of on your plate).
- For the sauce, combine broth and pepper. Reduce to half.
- Add whiskey, cream and mustard; reduce to desired amount.
- Remove from heat and swirl in butter. Allow to cool slightly to thicken.
- Serve steaks whole or slice thinly and top with sauce.
Tips:
- Make sure the filet mignon is at room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking.
- Sear the filet mignon in a hot skillet to create a flavorful crust and lock in the juices.
- Cook the filet mignon to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, cook for about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Let the filet mignon rest for a few minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
- For the creamy sauce, use high-quality ingredients like heavy cream, butter, and Parmesan cheese.
- Reduce the sauce until it is thick and creamy. This will help the sauce cling to the filet mignon.
- Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- Serve the filet mignon with the creamy sauce and your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes or asparagus.
Conclusion:
This creamy sauce for filet mignon is a delicious and easy way to elevate your steak dinner. The rich, creamy sauce perfectly complements the tender filet mignon, and the whole dish can be prepared in under 30 minutes.
