Filet Mignon With Sweet Bourbon Coffee Sauce Recipes

BALSAMIC & BOURBON FILET MIGNON

Steps:

• 1. Combine balsamic vinegar, bourbon and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl.
• 2. Rinse and pat dry filet mignon and place in a shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the steaks (you'll use the other half with the mushrooms), turning to coat.
• 3. Place in the refrigerator for an hour, turning after 30 minutes. (I cut the steaks in half horizontally to reduce cooking time.)
• 4. Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.
• 5. In a cast iron skillet or other oven-proof pan, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium high heat.
• 6. Place steaks in the skillet and allow to sear, untouched, 3 minutes. Discard the marinade in the dish the steaks were in.
• 7. Turn steaks and remove from heat.
• 8. Place the skillet in the oven for 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the steak.
• 9. While the steaks finish, melt remaining 2 tbs butter in a saute pan over medium heat.
• 10. Add mushrooms and saute until soft, 5 minutes. Pour half of the remaining marinade over the mushrooms, add thyme, reduce heat and continue to saute 6-8 minutes.
• 11. Taste at this point and add more marinade to the mushrooms, for a stronger flavor, if desired.
• 12. Plate steaks when done. Spoon mushrooms over the top.
