Filet Mignon Medallion with Mustard Sauce: Flavor and Sophistication

O Que Você Precisa Saber

- Searing the medallions for 3 minutes on each side over medium-high heat preserves the internal juiciness and retains the liquids. - The use of Dijon mustard brings balanced acidity and spice complexity without masking the noble flavor of the meat. - The quick cooking of the heavy cream with the mustard in the same skillet rescues the caramelized sugars from the searing.

Ingredients

Main Course

  • 500g de filé mignon cortado em medalhões
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup of cream
  • 3 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley for garnish

Season the filet medallions with salt and black pepper.

In the same container, add the heavy cream and mustard, mixing well.

Chef Tips

- Tie the medallions with kitchen twine before browning so that they maintain the perfect cylindrical shape in the skillet. - Use heavy cream at room temperature to avoid thermal shock that could break the stability of the sauce. - Let the fillets rest on a covered plate for 2 minutes before returning them to the skillet so they do not release excess liquid.

Variations

- Add a teaspoon of pure honey to the mustard mixture to create a sweet and sour honey mustard version. - Add a tablespoon of cognac or grape brandy to flambé the meat right after the initial searing. - Incorporate sliced fresh mushrooms sautéed together with the heavy cream to give earthy density to the dish.

Substitutions

- A mostarda dijon pode ser substituída por mostarda em grãos à l'ancienne ou duas colheres de sopa de mostarda amarela suave. - O filé mignon pode ser substituído por medalhões de lombo suíno ou filé de peito de frango cortado em tornedos grossos. - O creme de leite tradicional pode ser trocado por creme de ricota leve ou iogurte natural integral sem açúcar.

How to Store

Recomenda-se o consumo imediato após o preparo. Sobras devem ser armazenadas em recipiente fechado na geladeira por até 3 dias; reaqueça em fogo brando com uma colher de sopa de leite ou caldo de legumes para revitalizar o creme.

Can You Freeze It?

It is not recommended to freeze the cooked meat wrapped in the heavy cream sauce, as the texture changes drastically upon thawing. Freeze the raw filet mignon medallions wrapped individually for up to 3 months.

What to Serve With

Pairs with potatoes roasted with skin and rosemary, well-fluffed white rice with nuts, or velvety carrot puree. A salad of dark leafy greens with extra virgin olive oil offers a refreshing contrast.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to ensure the medallions do not dry out inside?

Keep the flame medium-high and respect the 3-minute time per side, avoiding pressing the meat against the bottom of the skillet.

What is the difference between Dijon mustard and common yellow mustard?

Dijon mustard has a base of black seeds and white wine, offering deeper pungency, refined acidity, and a velvety texture.

O barbante culinário deve ser retirado antes de servir?

Sim, corte e descarte os barbantes no momento em que a carne retornar ao molho ou logo antes de transferir aos pratos.

Can I prepare the sauce in a separate saucepan?

It is preferable to do it in the same skillet to absorb the toasted meat residues from the bottom, adding flavor and golden color.
