Why This Recipe Is So Good
This filet mignon is cooked to be a perfect medium rare and is incredibly tender and juicy. The homemade bearnaise sauce has an indulgent richness that complements the savory steak. It’s great for date night, Valentine’s Day, or any time you want to impress! To really put your special dinner over the top, serve your filet mignon with a side of my perfect risotto or lobster mashed potatoes and your favorite veggies. I like to use asparagus, personally!
Chef’s Tips
If your bearnaise becomes broken or separated, add in a teaspoon or two of the red wine vinegar or dry white wine and whisk vigorously. If the sauce is not thick enough after adding liquid, add one teaspoon of butter at a time until sauce is at the desired thickness. Bearnaise is best when freshly made, so make right before the steaks instead of ahead of time.
