Filet Mignon

Au Jus

Method

Preparing the Filet Mignon

  1. 1

    Sear the Steak

    Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Season the filet mignon with salt and black pepper. Once the oil is hot, place the steak in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time based on your preference. Remove from skillet and let it rest.

Making the Squash Purée

  1. 2

    Cook the Squash

    In a pot, add the cubed butternut squash and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain, then return to the pot.

  2. 3

    Blend the Purée

    Add butter, salt, black pepper, and heavy cream to the cooked squash. Use an immersion blender or a standard blender to purée until smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Sautéing the Vegetables

  1. 4

    Cook the Vegetables

    In another skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add mixed seasonal vegetables, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

Making the Au Jus

  1. 5

    Prepare the Sauce

    In the same skillet used for the steak, pour in the beef broth and red wine. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it reduce for about 5 minutes, then whisk in butter and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Plating

  1. 6

    Serve

    On a plate, create a base with the squash purée, place the filet mignon on top, and arrange the sautéed vegetables beside it. Drizzle with au jus before serving.
