Notes

For extra richness, whisk in a pat of cold butter into the sauce before serving. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days; reheat gently. This dish pairs beautifully with creamy mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables. Feel free to swap out filet mignon for more budget-friendly cuts like sirloin or ribeye.
