FILET MIGNON WITH BLACKBERRY CABERNET SAUCE

Filet Mignon Recipes, There are those who would argue a good steak needs no adornment and I tend to agree.
But, this sauce is sophisticated and unexpected. All I can say is, give it a try and you’ll see what I mean. These Filet Mignon Recipes will amaze you at their ease and sophistication.

Serves 4

4 (8 ounce) filet mignon steaks
2 tablespoons good olive oil
Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2/3 cup good quality beef stock
2/3 cup Cabernet Suavignon
3 tablespoons seedless blackberry preserves

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and pepper. In a heavy, ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Sear the steaks, on 1 side only, for 2 minutes until the meat begins to caramelize. Resist the urge to touch or poke at the meat so that caramelization actually has the chance to occur. You want your steaks to have that perfect contrast in texture, seared and crusty on one side, tender and juicy on the other. Without flipping the steak, transfer the pan to the oven and roast for about 10 minutes for medium rare (when a meat thermometer registers 150 degrees.)

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine beef stock, Cabernet Sauvignon and blackberry preserves. Bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer and allow the mixture to reduce by half. The sauce is ready when it becomes slightly thick and syrupy and can coat the back of a spoon. Season with pepper, but taste before adding any salt because canned stocks and broths tend to be a bit salty. It’s always better to err on the side of caution.

When the steaks are done, remove from the oven and allow them to rest loosely tented under a piece of aluminum foil for about 5 minutes. To serve, drizzle the blackberry cabernet sauce over the steaks and unleash the carnivore within.
