Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons whole black peppercorns (Tellicherry, Lampong, or Malabar)
2 tablespoons whole white peppercorns

Steps:

  • Cover a baking sheet with plastic wrap; set aside. In a spice grinder, coarsely grind the black and white peppercorns. Strain through a fine sieve, reserving powder for another use. Transfer ground peppercorns to a small bowl. Stir in oil, cognac, thyme, and salt.
  • Spread half of the pepper mixture lengthwise down the center of the prepared baking sheet. Top with filet, rolling to coat. Spread the remaining pepper mixture over the top of the filet to evenly coat. Wrap filet with the plastic wrap. Transfer to refrigerator, and let marinate for 4 hours. Remove the filet from the refrigerator, and bring to room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Salt the beef, and place on a rack in a large roasting pan or a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer to oven, and roast until an instant-read thermometer registers 125 degrees for medium-rare, 30 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven, and let rest in a warm place for 15 minutes before removing twine and slicing. Serve with Montpelier Butter and Oven-Dried Vegetables.

This was the worst steak I've ever had! It was tough, dry, and flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The steak was a bit dry and the sauce was a bit too salty. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The steak was cooked well and the sauce was flavorful. However, I think it could be improved with a few tweaks.

The sauce was a bit too thick for my liking. I would thin it out with a little bit of water or beef broth next time.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt next time.

This recipe was absolutely divine! The peppercorn crust was flavorful and perfectly crispy, while the filet mignon was cooked to a perfect medium-rare. I served it with mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus, and it was a meal fit for a king.
