Filet Mignon With Mustard And Mushrooms Recipes

FILET MIGNON WITH MUSTARD CREAM AND WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• 1. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 6 minutes.
• 2. Wipe out the skillet. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet over high heat until hot. Sprinkle the beef generously with salt and pepper. Sear over medium-high heat, turning once halfway through, until browned, about 12 minutes for medium. Transfer the beef to a platter.
• 3. Add the shallots to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring, until golden, about 3 minutes. Add the mustard and heavy cream and bring to a boil, cooking until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Spoon the sauce on a plate; place the beef on the sauce and scatter the mushrooms over top. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired.

Steps:

• Place bacon in an 8-inch cast iron skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Pour off excess fat from the skillet. Crumble bacon and reserve.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook garlic in the hot butter, stirring, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, salt, and pepper; cook over medium heat, stirring, until liquid from mushrooms starts to evaporate, 5 to 7 minutes. Add bourbon and boil until nearly evaporated. Stir in water, lemon juice, and Worcestershire. Boil until sauce is thickened slightly. Transfer sauce to a small saucepan and stir in reserved bacon and parsley. Keep warm.
• Pat steaks dry with paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Heat remaining butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until foam begins to subside. Sear steaks for 4 minutes; turn over and sear, 3 to 3 1/2 minutes for medium-rare. Divide between 2 plates and spoon sauce over them.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Be sure your stove is well ventilated!
• Heat a large (10-inch) cast-iron skillet over high heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Pat the filets dry with paper towels and brush all over with the canola oil. Combine the fleur de sel and cracked pepper on a small plate and roll the filets on the top, bottom, and sides in the seasoning, pressing lightly to coat.
• When the skillet is very hot, add the filets and sear evenly on all sides (top, bottom, and sides) for about 2 minutes per side.
• Transfer the steaks from the skillet to a sheet pan (set the skillet aside) and place in the oven for 8 to 12 minutes, until the steaks register 120 degrees F on a meat thermometer for medium-rare. Remove from the oven, cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the butter in a medium (10-inch) saute pan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and saute for 4 to 5 minutes, until they release their juices. Stir in the sherry and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until the mushrooms are cooked through. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and set aside.
• At the same time, add the olive oil to the skillet (don't wipe it out), add the shallots, and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the Cognac, stirring to deglaze the skillet, and cook for 2 minutes, until the Cognac evaporates and the shallots are tender. Stir in the cream and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, until thickened. Stir in the two mustards and taste for seasonings.
• Remove the strings from the filets and place on 4 warm dinner plates. Spoon the mustard sauce around the filets. Spoon the mushrooms on top of the filets and sprinkle each plate with parsley. Serve hot.
