Wowzers! My hubby couldn't stop eating this one!

Filet mignon is a cut of beef that's both tender and luxurious, perfect for those special family dinners or when you're hosting friends. The shallot peppercorn cream sauce adds a rich, savory note that compliments the steak beautifully. This dish might seem sophisticated, but with a little care and patience, it's entirely achievable even in your cozy kitchen.
This seared filet mignon pairs wonderfully with a side of garlic mashed potatoes and steamed asparagus. If you're looking to add some color to the plate, a simple salad with a light vinaigrette works great, too. Don't forget a loaf of crusty bread to mop up any extra cream sauce!
