Tip : Petit filet is also known as petit tender and can be found in the meat section of your grocery store.
Ingredients
- 1 petit filet about 4-6 ounces
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 recipe Peppercorn Sauce
Instructions
Gather all ingredients before starting the recipe.
- Season 1 petit filet with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper one hour before cooking and allow to come to room temperature.
- Heat a small skilet over medium high to high heat for about 2 minutes, then add 1 tbsp butter and the 1 petit filet. Sear without moving for 3 minutes. Flip and sear for another 2-3 minutes. To test, either insert a meat thermometer (130-135℉) or press down on the center of the filet. If it seems firm but not hard, the filet should be medium rare.
- Remove filet from skillet to a plate and allow it to rest for 5-7 minutes.
- Prepare Peppercorn Sauce while the filet is resting.
- Slice filet and serve with Peppercorn Sauce.
