Instructions

Gather all the ingredients for the recipe.
Rub Worcestershire sauce over both sides of the filet mignon steaks and season with salt and pepper.
Heat a large heavy skillet or cast iron pan over high heat until hot, then add 1 tablespoon of butter, swirling to coat the pan.
Brown the steaks for 3 to 5 minutes on one side, flip, and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes until medium-rare. Turn steaks only once and remove them from the pan.
Cover the filet mignon with a tinfoil tent to rest and keep warm.
In the same skillet, add shallots and garlic without cleaning the pan, and stir for 30 seconds.
Pour in the red wine carefully and stir, scraping the bits from the bottom of the pan for about 2 minutes.
Add beef broth and bring to a slow boil, cooking for 3 minutes.
Add heavy cream and cook until the sauce thickens, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Whisk in Dijon mustard until the sauce is smooth.
Return the steaks to the pan for 1 minute to warm, and sprinkle with finely chopped chives before serving.

Notes

For an extra flavor boost, consider marinating the steaks for a few hours in Worcestershire sauce prior to cooking.
Make sure to use a heavy skillet to maintain even heat while cooking the steaks.
