PORT WINE BALSAMIC FILET MIGNON



Port Wine Balsamic Filet Mignon image

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!

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups ruby port
1/2 cup dry white wine
Two 8-ounce pieces filet mignon (tenderloin steak)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 tablespoons quality balsamic vinegar
Microgreens, for serving
1 bunch very thin asparagus, tough ends removed
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

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.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon butter
½ cup minced white onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
¾ cup low-sodium beef broth
½ cup port wine
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 filet mignon steaks (1 1/2 inch thick)
¾ cup crumbled blue cheese
¼ cup panko bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and thyme. Cook, stirring constantly, until onion is tender. Stir in the beef broth, scraping any onion bits from the bottom of the pan, then stir in the port wine. Bring to a boil, and cook until the mixture has reduced to about 1/2 cup. Set aside. This may also be made ahead of time, and reheated.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Heat oil in a cast-iron or other oven-safe skillet over high heat. Sear steaks quickly on both sides until brown, then place the whole pan into the oven.
  • Roast steaks in the oven for about 15 minutes for medium rare - with an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). You may adjust this time to allow the steaks to finish just below your desired degree of doneness if medium is not what you prefer. Remove from the oven, and place on a baking sheet. Stir together the panko crumbs and blue cheese. Top each steak with a layer of this mixture.
  • Preheat the oven's broiler. Place steaks under the preheated broiler until the cheese topping is browned and bubbly. 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven, and let stand for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve with warm port wine sauce.

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 (4 to 6-ounce) filet mignons
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 1/2 cups dry red wine

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  • Generously season the steaks with salt and pepper and drizzle with the 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Grill to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board. Tent with foil and let stand 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Add the garlic and oregano and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Whisk in the wine. Simmer until the sauce reduces by half, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat. Strain the sauce into a small bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids in the strainer and return the sauce to the saucepan and bring back to a slow simmer. Cut the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter into small 1/2-inch chunks and whisk in the sauce a little at a time. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper.
  • Place filets on each of 6 dinner plates. Drizzle the sauce over the filets and serve.

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!

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Filet Mignon: Select high-quality, thick-cut filet mignons for the best results.
  • Season Generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the steaks liberally. This enhances their natural flavor.
  • Sear to Perfection: Sear the steaks in a hot pan with butter or oil until they have a nice crust. This locks in the juices and creates a flavorful exterior.
  • Cook to Your Desired Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steaks to ensure they are cooked to your liking.
  • Make a Rich Port Wine Glaze: Simmer port wine, shallots, brown sugar, and chicken broth to create a flavorful and glossy glaze that complements the steaks perfectly.
  • Let the Steaks Rest: After cooking, let the steaks rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • Garnish Elegantly: Garnish the steaks with fresh herbs, such as thyme or parsley, for a touch of color and extra flavor.

Conclusion:

With its tender texture, rich flavor, and elegant presentation, this filet mignon with port wine glaze is sure to impress your dinner guests. By following these tips and the step-by-step recipe, you can create a restaurant-quality dish in the comfort of your own home. Serve it alongside roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy this classic culinary delight that showcases the beauty of simple, yet refined ingredients.
