Céline Baudrand, a mother of six known for her appearance on the TF1 show 'Familles nombreuses: la vie en XXL', has shared a creamy and flavorful recipe for filet mignon with Boursin sauce. Shared with her 134,000 Instagram followers on the 'Famille Baudrand' account, the dish is designed to be easy to prepare and appealing to both adults and children, making it an ideal choice for family gatherings.
The recipe serves four people and requires 600g of pork filet mignon, 250g of button mushrooms, 150g of garlic and fine herbs Boursin cheese, one onion, two cloves of garlic, 20cl of crème fraîche, one tablespoon of olive oil, 20g of butter, salt, pepper, and optional fresh parsley. The process begins by cutting the meat into large cubes and chopping the onions, garlic, and mushrooms.
To cook the dish, olive oil is heated in a cast-iron pot, and the meat is browned until golden before being removed and set aside. In the same pot, the onions and garlic are sautéed for a few minutes, followed by the mushrooms, which are cooked until tender. The meat is then returned to the pot along with the garlic and fine herbs cream cheese and the crème fraîche. After seasoning with salt and pepper, the pot is covered and simmered over low heat for approximately thirty minutes, though cooking time may vary depending on the size of the meat cubes. Fresh parsley can be added at the end of the process.
For those without Boursin cheese, the recipe suggests using any cream cheese flavored with garlic and fine herbs. Alternatively, a homemade version can be created by mixing plain cream cheese with minced garlic, chives, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt. The dish can be served with a variety of sides, including rice, pasta, or potatoes.
To achieve a thick, flavorful sauce, the recipe recommends using full-fat crème fraîche. For added thickness, a level tablespoon of flour can be stirred in after browning the meat and sautéing the aromatic vegetables, just before adding the mushrooms. Additionally, incorporating vegetable or poultry broth can enhance the depth of flavor, provided the quantity of cream is slightly reduced.
