Categories     dinner, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 fillets of beef, about 1/4 pound each
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 package enoki mushrooms, about 3 1/2 ounces
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons corn, peanut or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots
1/4 cup port wine
1/2 cup fresh or canned beef broth
2 tablespoons grated or crumbled Gorgonzola cheese

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the fillets on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Cut off the tough ends of the mushroom stems. Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small saucepan and add the mushrooms. Cook briefly until heated through, 1 minute or less. Remove from heat.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the fillets in one layer. Add the fillets and cook 3 minutes on one side. Turn the pieces and cook 2 minutes on the other side.
  • Transfer the meat to a warm platter and pour off the fat from the skillet.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of butter and the shallots to the skillet. Cook, stirring, about 1 minute, add the wine and broth and stir to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom and sides of the pan.
  • Add the cheese and cook, stirring briskly, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is reduced to about 1/3 cup.
  • Line a saucepan with a sieve and pour the sauce into the sieve. Press around with a rubber spatula to extract as much liquid as possible. Bring the sauce to the simmer and swirl in the remaining tablespoon of butter.
  • Spoon the sauce over the meat and garnish each serving with an equal portion of the mushrooms.
