🛒 Ingredients

For the Steak:

  • 400g (14 oz) filet mignon

  • 30ml (2 tbsp) olive oil

  • 15g (1 tbsp) butter

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Mustard Cream Sauce:

  • 100ml (⅓ cup + 1 tbsp) dry white wine

  • 30g (2 tbsp) yellow mustard

  • 200ml (¾ cup + 1 tbsp) heavy cream

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

To Serve:

  • Crispy fries (homemade or store-bought, your choice!)

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Heat the skillet: Add olive oil to a hot skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. Season the steak: Pat the filet mignon dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  3. Sear to perfection: Add the steak to the skillet. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until beautifully browned. Add butter during the last minute, basting the steak with it as it melts.

  4. Rest the steak: Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a plate, loosely covered with foil.

  5. Deglaze and make the sauce: In the same skillet, pour in the white wine and mustard. Stir well, scraping any flavorful bits from the bottom.

  6. Add cream & thicken: Stir in the heavy cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let simmer gently until the sauce thickens slightly—about 2–3 minutes.

  7. Serve & enjoy: Plate the steak with crispy fries. Pour that velvety mustard sauce generously over the filet. Enjoy every bite!

💡 Pro Tips

🧈 Add aromatics to the butter
Toss in a clove of garlic or a sprig of rosemary or thyme when adding butter for bolder flavor.

🥩 Rest = Juiciness
Letting the steak rest for 5 minutes keeps all the juices inside where they belong.

🍷 Choose the right wine
Use a dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio—it lifts the richness of the cream and mustard.

🍟 Crispy fry tip
Double-fry your potatoes or use an air fryer for the perfect crunch.

📌 FAQs

What cut of beef is best for this recipe?
Filet mignon is ideal for tenderness, but sirloin or ribeye work great too!

Can I use Dijon instead of yellow mustard?
Yes! Dijon adds more tang and depth—just use slightly less if it's strong.

What if I don’t have wine?
You can substitute with beef broth and a splash of lemon juice for acidity.

How do I know when the steak is done?
Use a thermometer: 125°F (52°C) for rare, 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, and 145°F (63°C) for medium.

Can I make this dairy-free?
You can try using plant-based cream alternatives, but the flavor and texture will vary.
