Best 3 Filets Mignons With Bourguignonne Sauce Recipes

FILET OF BEEF BOURGUIGNON

Steps:

• With a sharp knife, cut the filet crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices. Salt and pepper the filets on both sides. In a large, heavy-bottomed pan on medium-high heat, saute the slices of beef in batches with 2 to 3 tablespoons oil until browned on the outside and very rare inside, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove the fillets from the pan and set aside on a platter.
• In the same pan, saute the bacon on medium-low heat for 5 minutes, until browned and crisp. Remove the bacon and set it aside. Drain all the fat, except 2 tablespoons, from the pan. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
• Deglaze the pan with the red wine and cook on high heat for 1 minute, scraping the bottom of the pan. Add the beef stock, tomato paste, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil and cook uncovered on medium-high heat for 10 minutes. Strain the sauce and return it to the pan. Add the onions and carrots and simmer uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes, until the sauce is reduced and the vegetables are cooked.
• With a fork mash 2 tablespoons butter and the flour into a paste and whisk it gently into the sauce. Simmer for 2 minutes to thicken.
• Meanwhile, saute the mushrooms separately in 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil for about 10 minutes, until browned and tender.
• Add the filet of beef slices, the mushrooms, and the bacon to the pan with the vegetables and sauce. Cover and reheat gently for 5 to 10 minutes. Do not overcook. Season, to taste, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Season the filets with salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes. In a sauté pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 Tbs. of the olive oil until almost smoking. Working in batches if needed (do not overcrowd), cook the filets, turning once, until browned on both sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 130°F for medium-rare, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the filets to a warmed platter and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Reduce the heat to medium and add the bacon to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Warm the remaining 2 Tbs. oil in the pan, add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes. Stir in the stock, Cabernet wine reduction, bacon, thyme and any accumulated meat juices. Simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the filets to individual plates and spoon the sauce over the meat, dividing evenly. Serve immediately. Serves 4.
