Filet Mignon with Mushroom and Cabernet Sauce
Ingredients List
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
2 (8 ounce) (1 inch thick) filet mignon steaks
-
½ teaspoon sea salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
-
1 large shallot, chopped
-
12 ounces sliced fresh white mushrooms
-
1 cup Cabernet Sauvignon or other dry red wine
-
½ cup beef broth
-
1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
-
1 teaspoon cornstarch
-
2 tablespoons water
Instructions
-
Heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Season filets with salt and pepper, and sear until a deep golden crust forms, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to a plate, cover loosely with foil, and set aside to keep warm.
-
Lower the heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add shallots and mushrooms. Stir occasionally, cooking until shallots soften and mushrooms release their moisture, around 5 minutes.
-
Pour in the wine, beef broth, and thyme. Let the mixture simmer until the sauce reduces slightly, about 6 to 10 minutes. Return the steaks to the skillet and cook briefly, flipping until they reach medium-rare, around 2 to 4 minutes per side. The internal temperature should be 130°F (54°C). Remove steaks and place on serving plates.
-
In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water, stirring until smooth. Add this mixture to the sauce and stir continuously until it thickens, about 30 seconds. Spoon the mushroom-wine sauce over the steaks and serve.
