What You’ll Need

Protein Base

1 ½ kg filet mignon, chopped into 2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin or regular, your call)

Sauce & Seasoning

1 cup vegetable broth (low-sodium if your broth runs salty)
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon mustard (Dijon or yellow—either works)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon pink peppercorn – If you haven’t heard of Pink Peppercorn before. You’ve got to try it. Read all about it here!
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Finishing Touch

Tool tip: A nonstick skillet is your BFF here—those seared edges? Perfection. I love this one from Amazon:

Prep & Cook

1. Sear the filet mignon.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the beef bites and brown all over—just 2–3 minutes per side. No crowding the pan! Work in batches if needed.

2. Season lightly.
Sprinkle with a bit of salt and ground pepper, keeping in mind the broth might be salty later.

3. Add the sauce base.
Lower the heat slightly. Stir in the ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire, and pink peppercorn. Let the beef mingle with the sauce for 3–4 minutes.

4. Thicken the magic.
Sprinkle in the cornstarch and stir until it evenly coats the beef. It’ll look a little sticky—perfect.

5. Build the sauce.
Slowly add the vegetable broth, a little at a time, stirring constantly. Stop when it hits your ideal saucy consistency—smooth, glossy, and clingy in the best way.

6. Finish with fresh herbs.
Stir in the chopped parsley and green onions. Give it one last loving toss in the pan.

7. Taste and adjust.
Now’s the moment to check for salt and balance—add a pinch more if needed.

Common Questions

Can I use regular black pepper instead of pink?
You can, but it’ll change the flavor profile. Pink peppercorn adds a unique floral, slightly sweet note that’s worth trying!

What’s the best cut of beef if I can’t find filet mignon?
Tenderloin or top sirloin are great subs. Just avoid tougher cuts like chuck unless you plan to stew them longer.

How do I store leftovers?
Cool and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over the stove with a splash of broth.

Can I freeze it?
Yes, but the sauce may need re-thickening after thawing.
