Helpful Tips

• Resting the Meat: Letting the filet mignon rest after cooking is crucial as it helps retain the juices, ensuring your steak is succulent and tender.
• Sauce Consistency: For a thicker sauce, let it reduce longer on a lower heat. For a thinner sauce, you can add a bit more wine or some chicken broth.

Substitutions/Variations

• Dairy-Free: Substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream and use olive oil instead of butter.
• Alcohol-Free: Omit the white wine and use chicken broth or a splash of lemon juice for some acidity in the sauce.
