FILET MIGNON IN BORDEAUX WINE SAUCE | |
1 1/4 lbs. filet mignon, cut into 4 slices (each about 1 inch thick) Salt and pepper 1 tbsp. peanut, vegetable, or corn oil 2 tbsp. butter 1 tbsp. finely chopped shallots 1/2 c. dry red wine (Bordeaux or Burgundy) 1/2 c. brown sauce or canned brown beef gravy Watercress for garnish Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper to taste. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the slices in one layer. Brown the meat on both sides, about 1 to 2 minutes to a side. Or cook longer if you prefer meat well done. Transfer the meat to a heated serving platter and keep warm. Pour off the fat from the skillet. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and when it is hot, add the shallots. Cook briefly, stirring, then add the wine. Cook until almost reduced by half. Stir in the brown sauce and cook about 2 minutes. Put sauce through a fine strainer into a small saucepan. Add salt and pepper to taste. Swirl in the remaining butter. Spoon the sauce over the meat and garnish with watercress. |
