Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 steaks (5-6 ounces each) Petite filet mignon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Shallot, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 ounce Dried porcini mushrooms
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 cup Beef stock
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Start by rehydrating the porcini mushrooms: Place the mushrooms in a small bowl and pour the boiling water over them. Let them soak for 15 minutes, then strain and reserve the soaking liquid. Finely chop the rehydrated mushrooms and set aside.
2. Season the petite filets generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. Let them rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it shimmer. Sear the filets for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or cook to your desired level of doneness. Remove the filets from the skillet, tent them with foil, and set aside to rest.
4. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the shallots and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Add the garlic and chopped porcini mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
6. Pour in the reserved porcini soaking liquid, being careful to leave any grit behind. Add the beef stock and thyme. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce by half, about 5-7 minutes.
7. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, then fold in the Gorgonzola cheese until it melts and the sauce becomes creamy.
8. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Plate each filet and generously spoon the porcini Gorgonzola sauce over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
