Balsamic & Bourbon Filet Mignon image

Oh my, this is the perfect dinner for a special occasion. The steak is tender, buttery, a little tangy, and sweet. But what makes this great is the mushrooms. They are like tiny sponges and soaked up all the flavor of the marinade. This dish is perfection!

Categories     Beef

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 oz balsamic vinegar
1 oz bourbon (I used Eastside Distilling Burnside bourbon)
1 oz Worcestershire sauce
4 Tbsp butter, divided in half
2 filet mignon
12-15 cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • 1. Combine balsamic vinegar, bourbon and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl.
  • 2. Rinse and pat dry filet mignon and place in a shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the steaks (you'll use the other half with the mushrooms), turning to coat.
  • 3. Place in the refrigerator for an hour, turning after 30 minutes. (I cut the steaks in half horizontally to reduce cooking time.)
  • 4. Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.
  • 5. In a cast iron skillet or other oven-proof pan, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium high heat.
  • 6. Place steaks in the skillet and allow to sear, untouched, 3 minutes. Discard the marinade in the dish the steaks were in.
  • 7. Turn steaks and remove from heat.
  • 8. Place the skillet in the oven for 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the steak.
  • 9. While the steaks finish, melt remaining 2 tbs butter in a saute pan over medium heat.
  • 10. Add mushrooms and saute until soft, 5 minutes. Pour half of the remaining marinade over the mushrooms, add thyme, reduce heat and continue to saute 6-8 minutes.
  • 11. Taste at this point and add more marinade to the mushrooms, for a stronger flavor, if desired.
  • 12. Plate steaks when done. Spoon mushrooms over the top.
