Filet Mignon with Shrimp in Garlic Cream Sauce
Ingredients List
-
2 (4 ounce) 1 1/2 inch thick filet mignon steaks
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
salt to taste
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 large shallot, minced
-
2 tablespoons minced garlic
-
¼ cup Chardonnay wine
-
½ pound uncooked shrimp - peeled, deveined, and cut into 3 pieces
-
¼ cup heavy cream
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Heat a heavy skillet, preferably cast-iron, over medium-high heat. Coat both sides of each filet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt. Place the filets gently into the hot skillet, cooking them until they firm up and the center remains a juicy, reddish-pink color, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer should register 130°F (54°C). Remove the filets from the skillet and let them rest under a loosely covered foil tent.
-
In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once the butter has foamed and subsided, sauté the shallots and garlic until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the wine, stirring occasionally, and let it reduce by half, which should take about 3 minutes.
-
Stir in the shrimp, heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of butter, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens and becomes velvety, and the shrimp turns pink, about 2 minutes.
-
To serve, place the filets on dinner plates and spoon half of the shrimp cream sauce over each filet. The sauce will thicken a bit as it cools.
