Time 1h

Yield 2 saucy steaks, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium shallot, minced
1 cup dry red wine
1/3 cup pomegranate juice
2 cups beef stock
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Cook steaks in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high. Add the steaks and cook 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to an ovenproof dish and place in a 200 degree oven. (I include this because the recipe talked about how to cook the steaks, but I'm only interested in the sauce.).
  • Return the skillet to medium heat and add 1 tsp oil and the shallot. Saute until the shallot has softened, about 1 minute. Add the wine and cook for one minute. Add pomegranate juice and the stock, then bring to a simmer and cook until reduced to 1/3 cup. Add cornstarch mixed with water, then cook until thickened.
  • Spoon the sauce over the filets and serve (garnished with freshly chopped chives and pomegranate seeds, if desired).

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 (4 to 6-ounce) filet mignons
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 1/2 cups dry red wine

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  • Generously season the steaks with salt and pepper and drizzle with the 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Grill to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board. Tent with foil and let stand 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Add the garlic and oregano and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Whisk in the wine. Simmer until the sauce reduces by half, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat. Strain the sauce into a small bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids in the strainer and return the sauce to the saucepan and bring back to a slow simmer. Cut the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter into small 1/2-inch chunks and whisk in the sauce a little at a time. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper.
  • Place filets on each of 6 dinner plates. Drizzle the sauce over the filets and serve.

PORT WINE BALSAMIC FILET MIGNON



Port Wine Balsamic Filet Mignon image

Years ago, I studied abroad in the beautiful city of Florence, Italy. During my 6 months in Tuscany I didn't have one bad meal--even the gas station food was something special. One evening my friend and I decided to treat ourselves to a beautiful steak dinner (on our parents' dime might I add, "Thanks, Mom!"). When the filet mignon came to the table it was covered in a sauce so dark, thick and luscious it almost looked like dark chocolate. Maybe it was the vino I was drinking but after the first bite I cried, I actually cried. The flavors were everything I wanted in a dish--the perfect balance of buttery, acidic, sweet, savory and umami. It was in that moment that I knew I had to recreate this dish at home. After some research and several taste tests, I got it! Now this dish has become one of my husband's favorites and we enjoy it together every Valentine's Day. It's the perfect date night meal you are sure to enjoy!

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups ruby port
1/2 cup dry white wine
Two 8-ounce pieces filet mignon (tenderloin steak)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 tablespoons quality balsamic vinegar
Microgreens, for serving
1 bunch very thin asparagus, tough ends removed
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring the port and white wine to a boil in a medium saucepan, lower the heat and simmer until the liquid has reduced to 2/3 cup.
  • Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper and lightly dust with flour on both sides. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter. When the oil is hot, add the steaks to the skillet and top them with a few sprigs of thyme (just to get the essence). Cook for 4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your liking (see Cook's Note).
  • Remove the steaks from the pan and set them aside on a plate to rest. Remove the thyme and discard. Add the wine reduction to the same skillet (do not clean the skillet) and bring to a simmer over medium heat, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits.
  • Add the balsamic vinegar and simmer until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, 2 to 5 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons unsalted butter until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the steak and garnish with microgreens.
  • For the grilled asparagus: Toss the asparagus with 3 tablespoons olive oil, the juice from 1/2 a lemon and some salt and pepper. Heat a cast-iron grill pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot, grill the asparagus, turning occasionally, until it is tender and lightly charred, about 4 minutes. Season with more salt and a squeeze of lemon. Serve with the steak.
