Ingredients
  

  • 4 beef fillets about 6 oz each
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 shallots finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup cognac
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
  

Prepare the Fillets

  • Pat the beef fillets dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Sear the Fillets

  • Heat butter and olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Sear fillets 3–4 minutes each side for medium-rare.

Remove and Rest

  • Remove fillets from the pan. Let them rest on a plate. This keeps them juicy while you make the sauce.

Sauté Shallots and Garlic

  • In the same pan, add shallots and garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden.

Flambé With Cognac

  • Carefully pour cognac into the pan. Lightly flambé or let it simmer for a minute to reduce slightly. Stir well.

Add Cream and Flavorings

  • Pour in heavy cream. Add Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Stir continuously until sauce thickens slightly.

Combine Fillets and Sauce

  • Return fillets to the pan. Spoon sauce over them. Cook for 1–2 minutes to coat and warm the fillets.

Final Taste Adjustment

  • Taste the sauce. Adjust salt and pepper if needed. Add a small knob of butter for extra richness if desired.

Garnish and Serve

  • Transfer fillets to serving plates. Pour creamy cognac sauce on top. Sprinkle chopped parsley for a fresh touch.

Notes

  • Use room temperature fillets for even cooking
  • Do not overcook the fillet; medium-rare is ideal
  • Replace cognac with brandy if preferred
  • Add mushrooms to the sauce for extra flavor
  • Use thyme or rosemary for an aromatic twist
  • Spoon sauce continuously for glossy finish
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor
