Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces filet mignon
  • 2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup apple juice
  • 5 ounces fat-free evaporated milk

Instructions

  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, and spritz it lightly with nonstick spray.
  • Use a sharp knife to remove the visible fat from the beef.
  • Rub both sides of the beef with black pepper.
  • Sear the beef in the hot pan for 5 minutes on one side. Flip the beef over, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on the other side. The beef is done when a thermometer registers an internal temperature of about 145 °F.
  • When the meat is done cooking, transfer to a plate.
  • Add the apple juice to the skillet. Use a spatula to scrape up all the browned bits at the bottom of the pan.
  • Whisk in the evaporated milk. Turn the heat up and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Turn the heat down and let the milk/apple juice sauce simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the sauce over the meat.
