Mmm food

Picked up a couple of nice beef tenderloin fillets the other day... Decided to make a dish that is super easy but really expensive when you order it in a good steakhouse.

Salt & Pepper liberally, and into a medium hot pan with some olive oil and butter.

Cook turning frequently until internal temp is 135° F. These were super thick fillets and I didn't want to butterfly them (make them thinner). So I turned them more often than current fashion finds acceptable....

Spoiler alert. I don't care.

Remove to cutting board and let rest under foil.

Pour off excess oil, then add some brandy or cognac. Flame it off the burner.

When the flames are done, add about an equal amount of cream, a tablespoon or so of chopped fresh thyme, a dash of lemon juice, and some dijon mustard to taste. Whisk and bring to a simmer/boil. Cook stirring until it thickens some. Taste and adjust seasonings however you like.

When pan sauce is to your liking, remove from heat. Slice tenderloin and serve sauce spooned over the top.

Freakin' delicious.

Yeah, we eat pretty good at Fort Kickass. 😁
