Steak

Red Wine Reduction

Method

Preparing the Steak

1

Season the Filet Mignon

Sprinkle salt and black pepper generously on both sides of the filet mignon to season it.

2

Heat the Pan

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

3

Sear the Filet Mignon

Add the filet mignon to the hot skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

4

Rest the Steak

Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a plate for 5 minutes before slicing.

Making the Red Wine Reduction

5

Sauté the Shallots

In the same skillet, add the minced shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

6

Add the Red Wine

Pour in the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer.

7

Add the Beef Broth

Add the beef broth to the skillet and continue to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by half.

8

Finish the Sauce

Stir in the butter and fresh thyme, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Serving the Dish

9

Plate the Steak

Slice the filet mignon against the grain and arrange it on a serving plate.

10

Drizzle with Sauce

Spoon the red wine reduction over the sliced steak for added flavor and garnish with additional thyme if desired.
