PORT WINE BALSAMIC FILET MIGNON
Years ago, I studied abroad in the beautiful city of Florence, Italy. During my 6 months in Tuscany I didn't have one bad meal--even the gas station food was something special. One evening my friend and I decided to treat ourselves to a beautiful steak dinner (on our parents' dime might I add, "Thanks, Mom!"). When the filet mignon came to the table it was covered in a sauce so dark, thick and luscious it almost looked like dark chocolate. Maybe it was the vino I was drinking but after the first bite I cried, I actually cried. The flavors were everything I wanted in a dish--the perfect balance of buttery, acidic, sweet, savory and umami. It was in that moment that I knew I had to recreate this dish at home. After some research and several taste tests, I got it! Now this dish has become one of my husband's favorites and we enjoy it together every Valentine's Day. It's the perfect date night meal you are sure to enjoy!

Steps:
- Bring the port and white wine to a boil in a medium saucepan, lower the heat and simmer until the liquid has reduced to 2/3 cup.
- Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper and lightly dust with flour on both sides. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter. When the oil is hot, add the steaks to the skillet and top them with a few sprigs of thyme (just to get the essence). Cook for 4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your liking (see Cook's Note).
- Remove the steaks from the pan and set them aside on a plate to rest. Remove the thyme and discard. Add the wine reduction to the same skillet (do not clean the skillet) and bring to a simmer over medium heat, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits.
- Add the balsamic vinegar and simmer until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, 2 to 5 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons unsalted butter until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the steak and garnish with microgreens.
- For the grilled asparagus: Toss the asparagus with 3 tablespoons olive oil, the juice from 1/2 a lemon and some salt and pepper. Heat a cast-iron grill pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot, grill the asparagus, turning occasionally, until it is tender and lightly charred, about 4 minutes. Season with more salt and a squeeze of lemon. Serve with the steak.
FILET MIGNON W/BALSAMIC SYRUP & BOURSIN CHEESE
One of my favorite foods. I've had this at my good friend's house with baked potatoes, asparagus and fresh baked bread. A meal to die for! Delicious! Update -09/15/2009: Since some reviewers have had trouble with the balsamic syrup - I suggest that you don't make the syrup and make a slight glaze with the balsamic vinegar and serve it with the filet mignon and the Boursin cheese & since I can't change the title of the recipe I suggest you do that.

Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality filet mignon steaks. Look for steaks that are at least 1 inch thick and have good marbling.
- To make the balsamic syrup, use a good-quality balsamic vinegar. A 12-year-old balsamic vinegar is ideal. Balsamic vinegar is reduced over low heat until it becomes thick and syrupy. This process can take several hours.
- Boursin cheese is a soft, creamy cheese that is made from cow's milk. It has a slightly tangy flavor. You can use any flavor of Boursin cheese, but the garlic and herb flavor is a classic choice.
- To cook the filet mignon steaks, you can use a grill, a skillet, or a broiler. If you are using a grill, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If you are using a skillet, heat the skillet over medium-high heat until it is hot. If you are using a broiler, preheat the broiler to high.
- Season the filet mignon steaks with salt and pepper. Cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach the desired doneness. Serve the steaks with the balsamic syrup and Boursin cheese.
Conclusion:
Filet mignon with balsamic syrup and Boursin cheese is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The steak is cooked to perfection and the balsamic syrup and Boursin cheese add a delicious and complex flavor. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
