Fried Filet Mignon Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 medium shallot, peeled and minced
- 1 cup (250 ml) Madeira
- 2 anchovy fillets, minced to a paste
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) minced fresh parsley leaves
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) minced fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 oz (15 ml) Dijon mustard
- 1/2 oz (15 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) unsalted butter, softened
- 4 filets mignon
- 4 teaspoons olive oil
- salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Method
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients, except filets mignon, olive oil, and black pepper. Mix well.
Step 2
Preheat a large skillet over high heat. Grease both sides of the fillets with olive oil. Sear in the preheated skillet for 1 minute on each side. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking, turning often, until well browned.
Step 3
Remove fried filets from the skillet and transfer to a warm platter. Keep warm.
Step 4
Add minced shallots to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until softened, for about 1 minute. Pour in Madeira, increase the heat to high, and, using a wooden spoon, scrape the pan bottom to loosen browned bits. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until the liquid is reduced by 1/3 cup (80 ml), for 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the Madeira mixture from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients. Season sauce to taste with salt and black pepper. Spoon over warm meat and serve immediately.
