Filet

Malbec Jus

Choice of Side

Method

Filet

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filet

    Season the filet mignon pieces with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Filet

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned filets and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is achieved.

  3. 3

    Rest the Filet

    Remove the filets from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, covered with foil, for about 5 minutes.

Malbec Jus

  1. 4

    Sauté Shallots

    In the same skillet used for the filets, add the finely chopped shallots and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until softened.

  2. 5

    Deglaze with Malbec

    Pour in the Malbec wine and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 6

    Add Beef Stock

    Add the beef stock and fresh thyme, and simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  4. 7

    Finish with Butter

    Remove the jus from heat and whisk in the butter until melted and the sauce is glossy.

Choice of Side

  1. 8

    Prepare Garlic Mashed Potatoes

    Boil peeled and chopped potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash with garlic, butter, milk, salt, and pepper to taste.

  2. 9

    Steam Asparagus

    Trim the asparagus ends and steam until bright green and tender, about 3-5 minutes.
