FILET MIGNON WITH CHERRY-BALSAMIC REDUCTION



Filet Mignon With Cherry-Balsamic Reduction image

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.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 teaspoons olive oil
2 shallots, chopped finely
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/3 cup dry red wine (shiraz or zinfandel)
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons cherry preserves
1 cup frozen dark cherries, thawed
4 (5 ounce) filet mignon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

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.

FILET MIGNON WITH A RED WINE REDUCTION



Filet Mignon With a Red Wine Reduction image

I made this dinner for my boyfriend and I. He is a huge steak guy and loves filet mignon. He devoured it and got mad when I gave a piece to the dog and ate whatever I had left. So if you love a good steak, try this recipe! :)

Provided by MeliBug

Categories     Steak

Time 35m

Yield 2 Steaks, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

20 ounces tenderloins filet mignon
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 cups red wine

Steps:

  • Cut fat off filet mignon steaks. Place steaks in large bowl/pan/plate/platter.
  • Drizzle 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar on each steak. Flip steaks over and drizzle the other tablespoon of balsamic vinegar.
  • Sprinkle the salt, pepper, and sugar on both side of steaks. Let the steaks sit for 10 minutes at room temperature.
  • Pour red wine into sauce pan over high heat. I suggested 2 cups but make enough sauce to satisfy your taste or number of steaks. Wait until wine becomes thick and syrupy. Turn off heat.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F Also preheat a heavy pan over medium heat on stove.
  • Drizzle 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over steaks.
  • Sear steaks 1 or 2 minutes on each side on pan. Pour red wine reduction over steaks while cooking. I used a spoon to do this in moderation and avoid getting too much red wine in there.
  • Place pan with steaks into the oven. Let them cook for 8-10 minutes. This will make your steak brown on the outside and pink on the inside (depending on the thickness of the steak and power of the oven). Try cutting a steak with your knife to check the inside.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and let steaks sit in the pan for 5 minutes to let them soak the juices inches.
  • Serve steaks on plate. Take a spoon and drizzle the juice from the pan over your steaks. Make sure to get a lot of juice on there! Enjoy!
  • PS - I served these with cheddar and bacon mashed potatoes. Also try potatoes au gratin or steak fries!

Provided by Lynn Dine

Categories     Beef

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 23

ROASTED TOMATOES
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
4 cloves garlic, crushed
pinch greek oregano
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
pinch brown sugar
PARMESAN POTATO CROQUETTES
4 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
3 green onions, finely sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated parmiggiano-reggiano cheese
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup italian-seasoned bread crumbs
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
olive oil, for pan frying
FILET MIGNON
4 steaks, at room temperature
2 tablespoons steak spice (recommended: mccormick montreal)
3 tablespoons canola oil
BALSAMIC SYRUP
1/4 cup aged balsamic vinegar* (*cook's note: minimum 7 years old)
1/4 cup real maple syrup

Steps:

  • 1. To make the roasted tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the cherry tomatoes and garlic in a large baking dish in a single layer. Sprinkle them with Greek oregano, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and brown sugar. Mix well. Roast for 40 minutes.
  • 2. To make the Parmesan potato croquettes: Boil the potatoes in enough salt water to cover for 10 to 15 minutes, or until fork tender. Drain. Saute the green onions and garlic in extra-virgin olive oil for a few minutes, until the onions are translucent and garlic is golden. In a big bowl, combine the onion and garlic mixture with the boiled potatoes. Add Parmesan cheese, sea salt, freshly ground pepper, and mash together. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • 3. Pour enough olive oil to come 1/4-inch up the side of a heavy fry pan and heat to 375 degrees F. Roll the chilled potato mixture into finger shapes. Dip the fingers in the beaten egg, then coat them in Italian-seasoned bread crumbs. Fry the croquettes in the hot oil for 30 seconds, until all sides are equally crispy and golden.
  • 4. To make the filet mignon: Season the steaks with a pinch of steak spice. Heat the canola oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Add the steaks to the hot pan. Sear the steaks for 2 minutes on each side. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the steaks for another 2 minutes per side. Tent the cooked steaks in aluminum foil and let them rest for 10 minutes.
  • 5. To make the balsamic syrup: Heat a pan on medium-high heat, add equal parts maple syrup and balsamic vinegar, and stir for 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and slightly reduced. Serve immediately, drizzled over the filet mignon.
