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 the 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 for medium-rare doneness. Turn only once, and remove steaks.
Make a tinfoil tent over the filet mignon to rest the meat and keep it warm.
Add shallots and garlic to the same skillet used for cooking the meat (without cleaning it), stirring for 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. Cook for 3 minutes.
Add the heavy cream and cook until the sauce begins to thicken, from 3 to 5 minutes.
Whisk in the 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, allow the steaks to rest after cooking to maintain juiciness.
Adjust the thickness of the sauce by varying the amount of heavy cream you add.
Feel free to add mushrooms or other vegetables to the sauce for added flavor.
