Filet Mignon with Mushroom Cabernet Sauce

Langkah-langkah

1. Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and mushrooms; saute for 4 minutes. Add the wine and beef broth; cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove the mushrooms with a slotted spoon; place in a bowl.
2. Increase the heat to high, cook the wine mixture until reduced to about ¼ cup (about 5 minutes). Add to the mushrooms in the bowl; set aside. Wipe the pan with a paper towel.
3. Sprinkle pepper over the steaks. Melt the butter in pan over medium heat. Add the steaks; cook 3 minutes on each side. Reduce the heat to medium-low; cook 1½ minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. (You can use an instant read thermometer if you have one.) Place the steaks on a platter to rest; keep warm.
4. Combine the soy sauce and cornstarch in a small bowl; set aside. Add the wine and beef broth to the skillet; scrape the skillet to loosen any browned bits. Bring to a boil; cook 1 minute. Add the mushroom mixture, cornstarch mixture, and dried thyme; bring to a boil, and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Serve the sauce with the steaks. Garnish with thyme sprigs, if desired.
