Filet Mignon with Creamy Parmesan Mustard Sauce 
Servings: 2
Prep Time: 10 minutes 
Cooking Time: 20 minutes 
Total Time: 30 minutes 
Ingredients:2 filet mignon steaks (about 1.5 inches thick)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 
2 tablespoons olive oil 
1/2 cup heavy cream 
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Optional: Fresh herbs (thyme or rosemary) for seasoning
Instructions:Season the Steaks:
Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Cook the Steaks:
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the filet mignon steaks and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare (internal temperature of 130°F/54°C). Adjust cooking time based on your preferred doneness. Once cooked, remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Prepare the Sauce:
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the heavy cream, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Dijon mustard. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve:
Place the rested filet mignon on plates and drizzle with the creamy Parmesan mustard sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley and additional herbs if desired. Enjoy your delicious meal!
Tips:Steak Doneness: Use a meat thermometer for accuracy. Medium-rare is 130°F (54°C), medium is 140°F (60°C), and medium-well is 150°F (65°C).
Make it Fancy: Add a side of sautéed mushrooms or roasted vegetables for an elegant touch. 
Wine Pairing: This dish pairs well with a robust red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot.
