Fillet Steak With Pepper Cheese Sauce Recipes

FILET MIGNONS WITH PEPPER CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the peppercorns into a shallow bowl. Sprinkle the beef tenderloin filets with salt on both sides, and coat both sides with crushed peppercorns.
• Melt the butter with the olive oil over high heat in a heavy skillet (not nonstick) until the foam disappears from the butter. Gently place the steaks in the pan, and cook until they start to become firm and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 3 1/2 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove the steaks to platter, and cover tightly with foil.
• Pour the beef broth into the skillet, and use a whisk to stir the broth and scrape up any dissolved brown flavor bits from the skillet. Whisk in the cream, and simmer the sauce until it's reduced and thickened, 6 to 7 minutes. Place the steaks back in the skillet, turn to coat with sauce, and serve with the remaining sauce.

FILLET OF STEAK WITH A PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a saucepan mix red wine, brandy, red wine vinegar, garlic clove, beef stock, water and crushed pepper. Bring to boil then reduce heat to a simmer, simmer for about 10 minutes; you want to reduce slightly. Mix cornflour with a little water and add, stir until mixture thickens add double cream and light cream. Stir and pour into heatproof jug to serve.
• For the steaks heat an oiled pan, once hot add steaks and sear a couple of minutes on each side. Then cook until desired doneness. I bought really thick steaks so I cooked them 20-25 minutes for medium rare. So less cooking time if they are thin. Once cooked remove from pan and allow to stand for 5 minutes before serving.

BEEF FILLET STEAKS WITH PEPPER THYME SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a large frying pan, cook beef on both sides, until cooked as desired. Transfer to a warm oven to keep warm.
• If like me you have very thick steaks I find I can not cook them to a medium rare on the stove, without burning the outside so I finish them off in the oven for about 15 Min's, on a higher heat setting.
• Heat remaining oil in same pan, add celery, onion and garlic, cook, stirring until vegetables soften.
• Add wine; stir until liquid is reduced by half, add cream, peppercorns and stock, bring to the boil. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, about 5 Min's or until sauce thickens slightly. Stir in thyme leaves, serve immediately over steak.
• I served mine over celeriac mash and a carrot casserole as a side but serve with your favourite veg and potato.
