1
Prepare the Filets
Season the filet mignon with salt and black pepper on both sides.
2
Sear the Filets
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the filets and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust time for desired doneness.
3
Rest the Filets
Remove the filets from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, covered loosely with foil.
4
Make the Wine Sauce
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped shallots. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
5
Deglaze the Pan
Pour in the red wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until reduced by half.
6
Add Broth and Thicken
Add the beef broth and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes. Stir in the butter and fresh thyme until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
7
Serve
Plate the filet mignon and drizzle with the wine sauce. Serve immediately.
