Filet Mignon With Red Wine Pan Sauce Recipe (with Video)

Steak
1. Generously season your steak with kosher salt.
2. Cover the steak thoroughly with the salt.
3. Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed pan such as stainless steel, cast iron, or carbon steel.
4. Get the oil nice and hot, it should just start to smoke.
5. Place the steak in the pan and sear on both sides for about 2-3 minutes.
6. Then add the butter, garlic, thyme and rosemary and baste for another 3-5 minutes or until cooked to the doneness of your choosing.
7. Place the steak, garlic and herbs on a plate and pour excess oil/butter over top.
8. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes.
Preparing the Pan Sauce
1. Return the pan to medium heat and sauté the shallot until translucent.
2. Add the wine and reduce by half.
3. Add the stock and simmer until your sauce lightly coats the back of a spoon.
4. Remove the pan from heat and add the butter and whisk to incorporate.
5. Add pepper to taste.
6. Plate your steak (without herbs and garlic) and spoon the sauce over top.
7. Enjoy!
