Get some flavor into the cadillac cut of beef with a great crust. This crusted Filet Mignon will make your guests think you were in the kitchen all day. Ingredients & method: I will give the instructions for two filets: 2 - 5 or 6 ounce filet mignons 5 Tablespoons soft room temperature butter 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (1/4 t dried) 2 teaspoons fresh parsley (1 t dried) 1/4 cup dried store bought bread crumbs 1 small shallot minced 1/4 cup red wine (I used ruby port wine) 1/2 cup store bought beef stock/broth 2 Tablespoons oil for sauté While your steak(s) sit out, mix your room temperature butter with your fresh herbs and then the bread crumbs. Put your butter mixture between two sheets of wax paper and roll out to 1/8 or 1/4 inch thick... This process is easier than you think! Put the butter into the freezer for 30 minutes till firm Cut the butter into 3 inch size pieces to cover the steaks Put back into the freezer Heat your oven to 400F Heat your fry pan over medium heat Place your room temperature steaks into your fry pan and sauté for 4 minutes Turn them and sauté 4 more minutes Remove and place into a pan, then put into your 400F oven for four minutes. In your fry pan ... add your shallots Then your red wine Then your beef broth cook for 4 minutes, take your steaks out of the oven, then add your tablespoon of butter to your sauce. Then place steak and place the butter disc on top and broil it for one minute. Serve your steak with the sauce if desired NOTE**** If you prefer steaks more rare, I would use 3 minutes for all the steps of cooking. NOTE**** I highly recommend the red wine sauce, it makes your meal like a restaurant steak. This is a great meal to make for a special occasion. Your guest will be impressed with your skills.
