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, then 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 achieve medium-rare doneness. Turn only once, and then remove the steaks.
Create a tinfoil tent over the filet mignon to let it rest and keep warm.
In the same skillet used to cook the meat (without cleaning), add the shallots and garlic and stir for about 30 seconds.
Carefully pour in the wine and stir, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom for about 2 minutes.
Add the broth and bring to a slow boil, cooking for 3 minutes.
Incorporate the heavy cream and cook until the sauce begins to thicken, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
Whisk in the Dijon mustard until the sauce is smooth.
Return the steaks to the pan and warm for 1 minute. Before serving, sprinkle with finely chopped chives.

Notes

For best results, ensure the steaks are at room temperature before cooking.
Adjust cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness.
Feel free to substitute the heavy cream with a lighter alternative if desired.
