# Everything You’ll Need:
→ Beef Fillet
01 -
2 beef fillets, 6 to 8 oz each
→ Sauce
02 -
1 cup heavy cream
03 -
2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
04 -
2 cloves garlic, minced
05 -
2 tablespoons butter
06 -
Salt, to taste
→ Garnish
07 -
Fresh parsley, chopped
# Steps to Cook:
01 -
Remove beef fillets from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to reach room temperature. Pat dry and season both sides with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
02 -
In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
03 -
Pour in the heavy cream, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Add remaining black pepper and salt to taste. Allow sauce to simmer gently for 3 to 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
04 -
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Sear the beef fillets for 3 to 4 minutes per side until medium-rare, reaching an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C).
05 -
Remove the fillets from the skillet and let them rest briefly. Return the beef to the skillet, spoon the creamy pepper sauce over the fillets, and heat for an additional minute to combine flavors.
06 -
Plate the beef fillets, drizzle with the pepper sauce, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Ensure beef fillets are at room temperature before cooking for even searing. Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain a good crust. Let beef rest post-searing to preserve its juices. Adjust seasoning in sauce to taste.
