I saw this cooked on Giada at Home. While I was laid up feeling under the weather I watched the food network all day! I want to try this recipe for my hubby we both LOVE Filet!!
Ingredients
Steaks:
- Vegetable oil cooking spray
- 2 (8-ounce) filet mignon steaks
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Gravy:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large or 4 small shallots, minced
- 2 cups (about 5 ounces) assorted mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake and button, coarsely chopped
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup dry Marsala wine
- 1 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Directions
Steak: Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a small baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray. Set aside. Season the steaks with salt and pepper, to taste. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and brown on all sides, about 4 minutes. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes on a cutting board.
Gravy: Chop up mushrooms and shallots (I was short 2 shallots and still proceeded with this recipe).
In the same skillet used for the steak, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and mushrooms and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook until the shallots are soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the wine and scrape up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Stir in the beef broth and rosemary. Whisk in the flour until smooth.
Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until half of the liquid has evaporated and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour over steak. We used Sirloin Steak and it was still awesome, it was all about the gravy, it took a little time, just because I had never made my own gravy before it had such awesome taste! I served it with Zucchini Stuffed w/Chickpeas & CousCous! OMY!!!!
I have to say it again….OMY!! I will surly be making this again!
