Instructions

Gather the ingredients.
Rub Worcestershire sauce evenly on both sides of the 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 of butter and swirl to coat the pan.
Brown the steak for 3 to 5 minutes on one side, then turn and cook an additional 3 to 5 minutes on the other side to reach medium-rare doneness. Turn only once and then remove steaks from the pan.
Make a tinfoil tent over the filet mignon to rest the meat and keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the shallots and garlic without cleaning it, stir for 30 seconds.
Carefully pour in the wine and stir, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom for about 2 minutes.
Add beef broth and bring to a slow boil. Cook for 3 minutes.
Add the heavy cream and cook until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Whisk in Dijon mustard until smooth.
Return the steaks to the pan and warm for 1 minute. Sprinkle with finely chopped chives before serving.

Notes

For best results, let the steak rest after cooking to ensure it stays juicy.
Adjust the thickness of the sauce by varying the cooking time after adding the cream.
Add more garlic for extra flavor if desired.
