Filet Mignon with Madeira Sauce


Steakhouse Style Dinner Very Easy To Prepare: A super tender Filet Mignon with an intensely rich and flavorful Madeira sauce.

To get a nice crust on the outside of the filet: salt and pepper the meat, then dip it in olive oil. Put the filet in a very hot pan and sear each side for three minutes without moving it. Finish cooking by putting the skillet right into a 450 degree oven to reach desired doneness depending on the thickness of the steaks. This steak took 3 minutes in the oven for medium. Let the meat rest before serving.

MADEIRA SAUCE

Cook 1 cup of Madeira wine with 1/4 cup of minced shallots and 1/2 teaspoon of thyme and reduce by about a third.

Then add 1 cup of beef stock and reduce further.

Whisk in 2 T. of butter and add fresh ground pepper and salt to taste.

Great with Hot & Garlicy Spinach and Soybeans.

    Would you have the recipe for the goulash? I could add my two cents, if you want me to. You could mail me at la_merisi (a) yahoo.de
    Make sure to have plenty of good French bread to sop up the good sauce. 🙂

    As for the paint, I am fearless, I have painted my house many colors, some rooms worked, some didn’t, but it’s only paint! You can paint over it 🙂
    The black in the kitchen worked! Lucky.

    Merisi – Thanks for the offer. I emailed you the goulash recipe! Hopefully, it will turn out to be “blog worthy.”
