Steps:
- Mix together the strawberries, brown sugar, and balsamic vinegar in a bowl, and allow to sit for 1 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe, heavy steel or cast-iron skillet over high heat. Sprinkle the filets with salt and pepper on both sides, gently place in the hot skillet, and sear each side until well-browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Slide the skillet into the preheated oven, and cook until they start to become firm and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Transfer the steaks to a platter, and tent with foil to rest.
- Pour steak juices from the skillet into a small saucepan. Strain the strawberries and discard the liquid. Add the strawberries to the steak juices, bring the sauce to a simmer over medium-low heat, and melt the butter into the sauce, tilting the pan several times to gently incorporate the butter into the sauce. Serve each fillet topped with about 1/2 cup of strawberries and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper.

FILET MIGNON WITH CHERRY-BALSAMIC REDUCTION
While visiting Los Angeles, I found this recipe on a card that you can pick up at the local grocers. This particular combination of meat and fruit had me intrigued so I brought it back for use at some later point. Filet mignon is pricey so this is certainly a special occasion food. Planning to serve it with roasted potatoes and maybe some nice asparagus.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a small heavy metal or ceramic saucepan. Add shallots and cook until they are soft and wilted, not browned (about 3 minutes). Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Add the wine, preserves, vinegar and cherries. Increase the heat to bring the sauce to a light boil, stirring occasionally. Let the sauce reduce to half the original amount (about 10-12 minutes). It should get thick and syrupy.
- When the sauce is almost done, preheat broiler. Pat steaks dry and sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the steaks. Broil to the desired level of doneness.
- For rare steaks: cook 2 1/2 minutes per side; for medium rare, cook 3 minutes per side; for medium, cook 3 1/2 minutes per side; for medium well, 4 minutes per side.
- To serve, serve steaks on a serving platter and sauce on the side. Or you can spoon sauce over each steak served on individual plates.

Tips:
- To ensure the best results, choose high-quality filet mignon steaks that are at least 1 inch thick.
- For a more intense flavor, marinate the steaks in the balsamic vinegar mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- When searing the steaks, be sure to use a very hot skillet and cook the steaks for only 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are browned but still slightly pink in the center.
- To make the balsamic glaze, reduce the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar mixture over medium heat until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Spoon the balsamic glaze over the cooked steaks and serve immediately.
Conclusion:
This filet mignon with balsamic glaze is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The tender steaks are cooked to perfection and the balsamic glaze adds a rich and flavorful touch. This dish is sure to impress your guests and is a great way to show off your culinary skills.
