Preparation
Step One
Generously season filet mignon with salt and pepper and set aside to come to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. When oil is shimmering, add filet and cook to desired doneness, about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and allow to rest, loosely tented with aluminum foil, at least 10 minutes.
Step Two
Meanwhile, in the bowl of a food processor combine mayonnaise, sour cream, chipotle peppers in adobo, garlic, and lime zest and juice. Process until smooth, then season to taste with salt and pepper, transfer to a small bowl, and set aside, chilled.
Step Three
When ready to serve, very thinly slice steak against the grain. Divide among sesame crackers, top with a dollop of chipotle sauce, and garnish with chives and/or chive blossoms.
Step Four
Note: Any extra sauce will keep, refrigerated, in an airtight container, for up to 1 week
