Vanilla filet mignon combines the best of both worlds: you taste tender meat wrapped in a sauce with subtle sweet notes that only vanilla can provide. It's an explosion of flavours with every bite! This filet mignon has a tasty and crispy rind and a tender, juicy and pink heart. It has aromatic notes of vanilla and a hint of hazelnut from brown butter. The black pepper of your choice brings warm aromas and length on the palate.

Preparing this dish worthy of a starred homemade restaurant is incredibly simple. There is no reason to be intimidated by the cooking of a filet mignon... It is really one of the easiest meats to cook. You have to start with quality ingredients and you will get great results every time.
