Beef Filet With Rich Balsamic Glaze
Serve an elegant meal for entertaining with this filet mignon recipe. A rich balsamic vinegar glaze adds a sweet and savory sauce that's mouthwatering and delicious!
Ingredients
- 4 (4 ounce) filet steaks
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper to taste
- salt to taste
- olive oil
- 2 shallots, chopped
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup dry red wine
Instructions
- Sprinkle freshly ground pepper over both sides of each steak, and sprinkle with salt to taste.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place steaks in hot pan, and cook for 1 minute on each side, or until browned. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on steak thickness. Remove from pan and let rest.
- Meanwhile, add olive oil and shallots to pan and cook until softened; about 5-7 minutes.
- Add balsamic vinegar and red wine; scrape pan to loosen flavor bits from bottom. Add filets back into pan and cover, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, basting with sauce when you turn the meat over.
- Remove steaks to prepared plates and spoon glaze over each. Serve immediately.
