• 2 6-ounce steaks filet mignon steaks
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Season both sides of the filet mignon steaks generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the steaks to the skillet.

3. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side, until a golden-brown crust forms. Reduce heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet.

4. Tilt the skillet slightly to pool the melted butter and baste the steaks by spooning the buttery juices over them for an additional minute. Remove steaks from skillet and set aside to rest under foil.

5. In the same skillet, add the remaining butter. Stir in the finely chopped shallots and cook over medium heat until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

6. Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.

7. Pour the cabernet sauvignon wine into the skillet, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze and release any browned bits for flavor. Allow the wine to simmer for 2 minutes.

8. Add the beef stock, rosemary sprig, and granulated sugar to the skillet. Stir well and simmer the glaze until it reduces by half, about 10-12 minutes.

9. Remove and discard the rosemary sprig. Taste the glaze and adjust seasoning if necessary.

10. Plate the rested filet mignon steaks and spoon the cabernet shallot glaze generously over the top.

11. Serve immediately and enjoy your luxury dish with your favorite sides such as roasted potatoes or sautéed vegetables.
