Instructions

Gather the ingredients.
Rub Worcestershire sauce evenly on both sides of filet mignon steaks, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Heat a large heavy skillet or cast iron pan over high heat until very hot, but not smoking. Add 1 tablespoon butter and swirl to coat the pan.
Brown steak for 3 to 5 minutes on one side, then turn and cook an additional 3 to 5 minutes on the other side until medium-rare. Turn only once and remove steaks.
Create a tinfoil tent over filet mignon to rest the meat and keep warm.
Add shallots and garlic to the same skillet used to cook the meat and stir for 30 seconds.
Carefully pour in the wine and stir, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom for about 2 minutes.
Add broth and bring to a slow boil. Cook for 3 minutes.
Add heavy cream and cook until the sauce begins to thicken, from 3 to 5 minutes.
Whisk in Dijon mustard until smooth.
Return steaks to the pan and warm for 1 minute. Sprinkle with finely chopped chives before serving.

Notes

For best flavor, allow the beef to come to room temperature before cooking.
Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic based on your personal taste.
Pair this dish with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
