Pan Seared Filet with Red Wine Mustard Sauce
(serves four)
4 6oz. Filet Mignon
1 Tablespoon neutral Oil such as Canola or Safflower
1 Cup Red Wine
1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3 Tablespoons cold butter cut into six pieces
Salt and Pepper
Season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper and sear filet in a hot pan with the oil to desired doneness. Remove steaks and set to rest. To the pan add the red wine and reduce until about 1 tablespoon remains or the pan is almost dry. Remove the pan from heat and whisk in mustard and Worcestershire until creamy. Whisk in the cold butter one piece at a time until melted and the sauce has a smooth consistency. Serve steaks with a teaspoon of sauce on each plate.
