Notes

For a luxurious touch, consider adding a few drops of truffle oil to the creamy sauce. Letting the filet mignon come to room temperature before cooking helps ensure even cooking. Use a meat thermometer for accurate doneness, with 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, reheating gently to preserve moisture and sauce creaminess. Avoid microwaving to prevent drying out.
