Steps:
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Generously season the steaks with salt and pepper and drizzle with the 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Grill to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board. Tent with foil and let stand 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Add the garlic and oregano and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Whisk in the wine. Simmer until the sauce reduces by half, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat. Strain the sauce into a small bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids in the strainer and return the sauce to the saucepan and bring back to a slow simmer. Cut the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter into small 1/2-inch chunks and whisk in the sauce a little at a time. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper.
- Place filets on each of 6 dinner plates. Drizzle the sauce over the filets and serve.
THE PERFECT FILET MIGNON
A luxe cut of meat like filet mignon needs little embellishment to shine. It's all about technique-and plenty of butter! Searing the steaks creates a beautiful crust and basting them with melted butter infused with garlic and thyme helps keep them tender. A quick pan sauce that comes together while the meat rests is the perfect finishing touch.

Steps:
- Pat the steaks dry, then sprinkle with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Firmly press the seasoning into the meat.
- Heat the oil in a medium stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking, about 2 minutes. Add the steaks and cook until a golden crust forms, about 2 minutes. Flip with tongs and cook until golden on the second side, about 2 minutes (see Cook's Note). Flip again and cook for 2 minutes. Flip once more and add 4 tablespoons of the butter and the thyme and garlic. Let cook, undisturbed, until the butter stops foaming, 1 to 2 minutes. Tilt the pan slightly so the butter pools and spoon it over the steaks. Continue to cook the steaks, basting constantly, until they are medium rare and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 118 degrees F, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Transfer the steaks to a plate to rest. Discard the garlic, thyme and fat from the skillet, but do not wipe out the browned bits.
- Place the same skillet over medium heat and add the shallots and 1 tablespoon butter. Cook, scraping up the browned bits with a wooden spoon, until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the brandy. Return the skillet to the heat and continue to cook over medium until the skillet is dry, being careful as it may ignite, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook until the liquid reduces by half, about 3 minutes. Add the beef stock and bring to a boil. Whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- To serve, slice the steak, spoon the sauce over the top and sprinkle with the chives.

Steps:
- A seared filet mignon is, without a doubt the most tender of the steaks. It's cut from the beef tenderloin. A muscle that runs along the back of the cow, which does very little work (relative to the rest of the cow), and that is what makes it so tender. It is also among the most lean cuts of beef, with very little inter-muscular fat or connective tissue. That lack of fat means two very important things. First, a more mild flavor; delicious, but nothing that's going to blow your socks off. And second, a proclivity to feel a bit dry while eating. Fortunately, both of those issues can be greatly improved with the addition of a filet mignon sauce aka, a steak sauce. Now, if you must, you can break out the A1. But you'd be committing a terrible sin. However wonderful, that alpha-numeric sauce may be, if you're going to pay the big bucks for a prime piece of filet mignon, learn how to cook it perfectly, then I'd really suggest that you take a bit of extra time, to come up with an equally perfect sauce. Below are some of my favorite steak sauces, which work particularly well with filet. Some are very simple. Some a bit more complex. Take note, that one thing almost all of my filet mignon sauces have in common, is a good amount of fat. As I mentioned above, since filet is so lean, it benefits from a bit of fat, like butter or cream. Leave the more acidic/tangy steak sauces for the fatty cuts, like ribeye. Best Sauces for Filet Mignon Peppercorn (Au Poivre) Sauce Perhaps the most traditional sauce for a filet and a stable for French cooking. I like to use very coarsely crushed black peppercorns, cooked with a bit of shallot and cognac, and then finished with some cream. Béarnaise Sauce Another French sauce, béarnaise has shallots and tarragon as its main flavor components, which are then turned into a thick creamy sauce with the addition of egg yolk and butter. If I don't have the time to make the real deal, I "cheat" a bit by making a simple tarragon butter. Rosemary Butter Sauce Maitre 'd butters got very popular in the 80's. They are a simple combination of butter and "something". In this case, I finely chop some rosemary and mix it with the butter. Slathering some on a just-cooked filet mignon, letting it melt all over as the steak rests, is a terrific way to add flavor. Blue Cheese Sauce or Crust There are a few different ways to add blue cheese to a filet. The salty, tangy, fatti-ness of the cheese matches perfectly with the lean meat flavors. I usually mix a bit of butter and blue cheese together and allow it to melt onto the steak after cooking, but making a sauce with some cream, or adding some bread crumbs and making a topping during the last few minutes of cooking are also great options. Bordelaise - Red Wine Sauce Red wine & filet mignon go wonderfully well together. So a sauce with a good Bordeaux (cabernet and/or merlot grapes) at its heart is a perfect match. For this sauce, reduce a cabernet based wine with some good beef stock and shallots. Finish with some fresh butter to thicken. Awesome!
