SPICY FILET MIGNON
I adapted this recipe from a seasoning I saw for blackened catfish. Because these steaks have a lot of kick, I make a more mellow side dish, like buttered potatoes or grilled fresh vegetables. -Vera Kobiako, Jupiter, Florida

THE PERFECT FILET MIGNON
A luxe cut of meat like filet mignon needs little embellishment to shine. It's all about technique-and plenty of butter! Searing the steaks creates a beautiful crust and basting them with melted butter infused with garlic and thyme helps keep them tender. A quick pan sauce that comes together while the meat rests is the perfect finishing touch.

Steps:
- Pat the steaks dry, then sprinkle with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Firmly press the seasoning into the meat.
- Heat the oil in a medium stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking, about 2 minutes. Add the steaks and cook until a golden crust forms, about 2 minutes. Flip with tongs and cook until golden on the second side, about 2 minutes (see Cook's Note). Flip again and cook for 2 minutes. Flip once more and add 4 tablespoons of the butter and the thyme and garlic. Let cook, undisturbed, until the butter stops foaming, 1 to 2 minutes. Tilt the pan slightly so the butter pools and spoon it over the steaks. Continue to cook the steaks, basting constantly, until they are medium rare and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 118 degrees F, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Transfer the steaks to a plate to rest. Discard the garlic, thyme and fat from the skillet, but do not wipe out the browned bits.
- Place the same skillet over medium heat and add the shallots and 1 tablespoon butter. Cook, scraping up the browned bits with a wooden spoon, until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the brandy. Return the skillet to the heat and continue to cook over medium until the skillet is dry, being careful as it may ignite, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook until the liquid reduces by half, about 3 minutes. Add the beef stock and bring to a boil. Whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- To serve, slice the steak, spoon the sauce over the top and sprinkle with the chives.
SPICE-RUBBED FILETS MIGNONS
Steps:
- Prepare steaks:
- Preheat oven to 500°F.
- In a small bowl stir together chili powder, cumin, black pepper, allspice, and sugar and stir in garlic paste and Worcestershire sauce. Evenly rub spice mixture onto top and bottom of each steak. Marinate steaks on a plate, loosely covered and chilled, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
- In middle of oven heat a small flameproof baking pan 5 minutes. Add steaks to pan and roast 20 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a cutting coard, reserving juices in pan and let stand 5 minutes.
- Make sauce:
- While steaks are roasting, in a small saucepan simmer water, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, and garlic until garlic is very soft and liquid is reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 20 minutes.
- Pour garlic mixture into reserved juices in baking pan and deglaze pan over moderate heat, stirring and scraping up any brown bits in pan. Pour deglazed mixture through a fine sieve into a small bowl, pressing and forcing garlic through sieve to mash it, and stir in any beef juices that have accumulated on cutting board.
- Cut each steak crosswise into 8 slices. Spoon some sauce onto each of 4 plates and top with steak.

Cooking Light 2004 Dry mustard powder has a pleasant bitterness and mild heat that pair well with the tender beef. Peppercorns and rosemary add even more flavor.
