Ingredients

• 2 premium beef filet mignon steaks
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• For Béarnaise Sauce:
• 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons shallots, finely chopped
• 3 egg yolks
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, chopped
• Salt to taste
• For Truffle Mash:
• 4 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons truffle oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation Steps

Start by preparing the Béarnaise sauce. Combine white wine vinegar, white wine, and shallots in a small saucepan. Simmer until reduced by half, then strain and let cool. Whisk egg yolks in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, slowly add the melted butter, and whisk until thickened. Stir in the tarragon and season with salt. Keep warm.

Next, cook the potatoes for the truffle mash. Boil chopped potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash with heavy cream and truffle oil. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.

Prepare the filet mignon steaks. Season generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your preferred doneness. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

To serve, place the steaks on plates, spoon Béarnaise sauce over the top, and add a generous portion of truffle mash on the side. Garnish with additional tarragon if desired for an elegant presentation.
