4 - 8 oz. filet mignon,
2 tablespoons diced shallots,
1 teaspoon minced garlic,
1 tablespoon cracked peppercorns,
30 ml. brandy,
1/2 cup heavy cream,
1/2 cup demi-glace,
1 tablespoon butter,
sea salt to taste.
Recipe: Season the filet mignon and broil them to the desired doneness. In the meantime, heat the butter in a skillet and saute the shallots and garlic until soft. Deglaze with the brandy, but make sure to keep your face away from the skillet in case it catches fire. Add the peppercorns, cream and demi-glace and reduce the sauce. Finish the filet mignon in the skillet with the sauce for 1-2 minutes and serve with the peppercorn and brandy sauce on top.
