How to Make the Perfect Filet Mignon with Truffle Hollandaise Sauce

truffle oil

🥗Healthier: mushroom oil

💰Cheaper: olive oil + truffle salt

Mushroom oil provides a similar earthy flavor while being lighter.

butter

🥗Healthier: ghee

💰Cheaper: margarine

Ghee offers a rich taste with a higher smoke point.

filet mignon

🥗Healthier: sirloin steak

💰Cheaper: chicken breast

Sirloin provides a leaner option, while chicken is more budget-friendly.

Beat drained truffles and butter to create a compound butter, then shape into a log and firm up in the fridge or freezer.

Cook filet mignon in a hot skillet.

Baste the steaks with a bit of the truffle butter while cooking.

Let the steaks rest after cooking.

In a measuring cup, add egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and hot water.

Melt some of the truffle butter until very hot.

With the blender running, slowly add the hot truffle butter until the sauce is smooth and emulsified.

Spoon the truffle hollandaise sauce over the steaks.

Serve with roasted asparagus.
