How to Make Tournedos Au Poivre Et Champignons Filet Au Poivre W Mushrooms
- Coarsely crack 2 tablespoons of black peppercorns using a mallet or the back of a heavy pan.
- Press each side of the 4 (6-ounce) filet mignon steaks into the cracked peppercorns. Let the beef stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavor.
- Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear for 8 minutes per side for rare, 10 minutes for medium, or 12 minutes for well-done. Sear in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a platter, loosely tented with foil, for 10 minutes.
- Add 1/4 cup cognac to the skillet and heat for a few seconds. Carefully ignite the cognac (use caution!). Let the flames extinguish naturally.
- **Option 1 (Cream Sauce):** Bring the liquid in the skillet to a simmer for 1 minute. Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter, salt and pepper to taste, and 1/4 cup heavy cream. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender (about 5-7 minutes).
- **Option 2 (Simple Sauce):** Skip the cream, simply simmer the sauce in the pan for about 1 minute to reduce it slightly. Add the sliced mushrooms to the sauce and sauté until tender (about 5-7 minutes).
- Pour the sauce over the rested fillets. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
