How to Make Four Peppercorn Filet Mignon

  1. In a shallow dish, combine black peppercorns, green peppercorns, white peppercorns, pink peppercorns, and kosher salt.
  2. Drizzle olive oil over the peppercorn mixture and mix well.
  3. Coat each filet mignon steak thoroughly with the peppercorn mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
  4. Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat until very hot.
  5. Add the filet mignon steaks to the hot skillet.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-high. Sear steaks for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting cooking time based on desired doneness.
  7. Use a meat thermometer to ensure steaks reach your desired internal temperature (130-135°F for medium-rare).
  8. Transfer the cooked steaks to a plate and keep warm in a 200°F oven while preparing the sauce.
  9. Remove excess peppercorn mixture from the skillet. Return the skillet to medium-high heat.
  10. Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  11. Pour in brandy and cook for 1 minute, allowing the alcohol to cook off.
  12. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to a coating consistency (about 3-4 minutes).
  13. Drizzle the creamy peppercorn sauce generously over the filet mignon steaks.
  14. Serve immediately with your choice of french-fried potatoes, roasted potatoes, a green salad, or steamed broccoli.
