Time 45m

Yield approximately 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup pecans, toasted
1/2 cup flour
1 whole filet mignon, trimmed
Vegetable oil
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper, to taste
Port wine sauce, recipe follows
1/4 cup chopped shallots
3 ounces butter
1 tablespoon peppercorns
6 ounces Port wine
1/8 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 bunch fresh thyme, leaves
1 1/2 quarts demi-glace

Steps:

  • Preheat oven 375 degrees F.
  • Puree pecans in food processor until mealy in texture. Add the flour and pulse until incorporated with the pecans.
  • Season the filet mignon with the salt and pepper. Sear the filet in hot vegetable oil until it has a rich brown color, turning to brown all sides. Remove from the pan and let it cool for a few minutes.
  • Brush the filet with a light coat of Dijon mustard, using a pastry brush. Pack the pecan and flour mixture on the filet and saute in fresh oil until golden brown on all sides.
