Steps:
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until they're tender and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the brandy and cook until the brandy has almost completely evaporated.
- Add the thyme, diluted Glace de Viande Gold®, and cream. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and cook until it coats a spoon, about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove the thyme sprig and season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside, covered.
- Season the filets with salt and pepper. Heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the remaining tablespoon of the butter. As soon as it is melted, add the steaks and sauté them, turning once, until they're cooked to your liking, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to warm plates.
- Pour the sauce into the skillet in which the steaks were cooked. Over low heat warm the sauce, stirring to scrape any browned bits from the pan into the sauce and incorporate any pan juices. To serve, ladle the sauce over the steaks and garnish them with chopped fresh thyme.

GRILLED FILET MIGNON WITH BRANDY MUSTARD SAUCE
This is a recipe from the Rhododendron Cafe in Washington state. I can't resist a good filet recipe! Be sure to have all the sauce ingredients ready to go before starting the meat....it moves quickly! For perfect timing, add the cream to the sauce while the steaks are resting; they'll be done at the same time. From Bon Appetit! I...

Steps:
- 1. Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to high. Brush the steaks with oil; season with salt and pepper to your taste.
- 2. Prepare all your sauce ingredients and have them lined up for use.
- 3. Grill the steaks until cooked to desired doneness, 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
- 4. While the steaks are cooking, heat 1 tbsp oil in a large cast-iron skillet set on the grill alongside the steaks. Add the mushrooms and shallots to the skillet and stir until the mushrooms are tender and browned in spots and the shallots are tender, 4-5 minutes.
- 5. Remove the skillet from heat; stir in brandy (CAUTION: Mixture may ignite). Return the skillet to the grill. Add the broth, Dijon mustard, and thyme leaves; stir to blend. At this point your steaks should be ready to come off the grill to rest.
- 6. Add the cream to the mushroom mixture. Simmer until the mushroom sauce is slightly thickened, 4-5 minutes. Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and cayenne.
- 7. Spoon the sauce onto plates; top each with a filet. Garnish with chives.

Steps:
- Sprinkle the steaks generously with salt on both sides. Press the top and bottoms of the steaks into the peppercorns to crust on each side.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large heavy saute pan or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the steaks and sear for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Cook until the internal temperature is around 125 degrees F for medium-rare. Remove the steaks from the pan and allow them to rest.
- In the same pan the steaks were cooked in, add the shallots along with the remaining tablespoon oil and the green peppercorns and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the shallots are softened and lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, then add the brandy and return the heat to medium. Cook for 1 minute. Add the beef stock and cream, then reduce the liquid by half until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt as needed.
- Turn off the heat. Swirl in the butter and melt, stirring often. Return the steaks to the pan and coat with the sauce. Sprinkle with the parsley and a splash of red wine vinegar to balance the richness of the sauce. Place the steaks on a plate, then spoon the sauce over and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- Brush the filets with olive oil, and cook on the preheated grill to desired doneness (about 4 minutes per side for medium rare). An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Set the steaks aside on a platter tented with aluminum foil to rest.
- While the steaks are resting, prepare the sauce: cook and stir the chopped bacon in a small saucepan over medium heat until the bacon pieces are crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the butter and shallots, and cook and stir until the shallots are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes more.
- Stir in the half-and-half, bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve over the steaks.

Steps:
- Place the peppercorns into a shallow bowl. Sprinkle the beef tenderloin filets with salt on both sides, and coat both sides with crushed peppercorns.
- Melt the butter with the olive oil over high heat in a heavy skillet (not nonstick) until the foam disappears from the butter. Gently place the steaks in the pan, and cook until they start to become firm and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 3 1/2 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove the steaks to platter, and cover tightly with foil.
- Pour the beef broth into the skillet, and use a whisk to stir the broth and scrape up any dissolved brown flavor bits from the skillet. Whisk in the cream, and simmer the sauce until it's reduced and thickened, 6 to 7 minutes. Place the steaks back in the skillet, turn to coat with sauce, and serve with the remaining sauce.
