14oz. Filetto Gioacchino Rossini Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Sear the Filet

   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the filet of beef with salt and black pepper. Sear the filet for about 4-5 minutes on each side until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from skillet and let it rest.

2. 2

   Prepare the Sauce

   In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the shallots and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add the Madeira wine and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Bring to a boil and reduce by half.

3. 3

   Add Broth and Season

   Add the beef broth and fresh thyme to the skillet. Continue to simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

4. 4

   Plate the Dish

   Slice the rested filet and place it on a plate. Spoon the Madeira sauce over the filet and add dollops of paté on the side or atop the filet as desired.
