Ingredients
- 4 ButcherBox.ca Filet Mignon
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (coarsely ground)
- 1 tablespoon Rolling Meadows unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup shallots (finely chopped)
- 2 large cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/3 cup red wine
- 1/2 cup ButcherBox.ca beef broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- garnish: chives
Method
- Gather the ingredients.
- Rub Worcestershire sauce evenly on both sides of the filet mignon steaks, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large heavy skillet or cast iron pan over high heat until very hot but not smoking. Add the butter and swirl to coat the pan.
- Brown the steak for 3 to 5 minutes on one side, then turn and cook an additional 3 to 5 minutes on the other side to medium-rare doneness. Turn only once, and remove the steaks.
- Make a tinfoil tent over the filet mignon to rest the meat and keep warm.
- Add shallots and garlic to the same skillet used for the meat, stirring for 30 seconds.
- Carefully pour in the wine and stir, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom for about 2 minutes.
- Add broth and bring to a slow boil. Cook for 3 minutes.
- Add heavy cream and cook until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Whisk in the Dijon mustard until smooth.
- Return the steaks to the pan and warm for 1 minute. Sprinkle with finely chopped chives before serving.
