Filet Mignon with Dijon Port Sauce image

Sauce on a filet? The blasphemy! If it makes you feel better, try this sauce on a ribeye or strip or even a slice of Spam. Yeh, it's THAT good. The french application of the buerre manie thickens the sauce nicely while adding the richness that only butter can.
