Total Time 30 minutes

Prep Time 30 minutes

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pound Filet Mignon
2 tablespoon Vegetable oil
-- Equipment: Grill pan --

Steps:

  • "According to Wikipedia, the same cut of beef can be called Chateaubriand, tournedos, filet de bouef (French), Medallians, Tenderloin Steak (USA), or Fillet Steak (UK and Ireland). The two secrets to this simple recipe are (1) a grill pan, and (2) RESISTING the temptation to turn the steak too frequently. (A grill pan is a large saute pan that has raised grill ridges.) I've grilled filet mignon before, and it's terrific, but this is one of the few cases where I actually prefer the grill pan -- it sears with a moister method than grilling -- it cooks nearer to its own juices, making it less likely to dry out. Place the pan over medium high heat, and allow to come up to temperature (approximately 4-5 minutes). Add 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and tilt it around to cover the pan. Slice medallions in very consistent-thickeness slices, approximately 1 inch thick. Cover with ample ground course salt and pepper. Place tournedos (fillets), putting them down away from you, one by one, into the pan. DO NOT DISTURB them for 3 minutes. Lift with tongs and flip. Wait another 2-3 minutes. Rotate 45 degrees, and sear for another 2 minutes. Flip again to complete the grill marks, and cook another 1-2 minutes. I like my steaks medium, and I carefully watch the color on the outside -- remove them from the grill pan when there is still a faint pink line in the center. Tonight I found that cooking time for me was about 5-6 minutes total. "

Filet Mignon with Mushroom-Cabernet Gravy Recipe | Allreci… image

I love pan-searing because it gives the filet mignon steaks that beautiful color and crust on the outside and leaves them so tender inside! And because of the influence of my husband's French grandmother, I love to cook anything with wine! The Cabernet and mushrooms, along with fresh thyme, make this absolutely delicious! Try this: you'll love it!

Total Time 40 minutes

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 25 minutes

Yield 2 steaks

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 (8 ounce) (1 inch thick) filet mignon steaks
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 large shallot, chopped
12 ounces sliced fresh white mushrooms
1 cup Cabernet Sauvignon or other dry red wine
½ cup beef broth
1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the filets with salt and pepper, gently place them into the hot skillet, and sear until well-browned on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the steaks to a platter, tent with aluminum foil, and keep warm.
  • Turn the heat down to medium, and melt the butter. Cook and stir the shallot and mushrooms in the butter until the mushrooms begin to give off their liquid and the shallots are translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the wine, beef broth, and thyme, and simmer the sauce until it begins to reduce, 6 to 10 minutes. Return the steaks to the sauce, and simmer briefly until they start to become firm and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 2 to 4 minutes per side (for medium-rare.) An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove the steaks to serving dishes.
  • In a small bowl, stir the cornstarch and water until it forms a smooth paste. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the pan sauce, and cook and stir until thickened, about 30 seconds. Top each serving with mushroom-wine sauce to serve.
