FILET MIGNON WITH MUSHROOM-CABERNET GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the filets with salt and pepper, gently place them into the hot skillet, and sear until well-browned on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the steaks to a platter, tent with aluminum foil, and keep warm.
• Turn the heat down to medium, and melt the butter. Cook and stir the shallot and mushrooms in the butter until the mushrooms begin to give off their liquid and the shallots are translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the wine, beef broth, and thyme, and simmer the sauce until it begins to reduce, 6 to 10 minutes. Return the steaks to the sauce, and simmer briefly until they start to become firm and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 2 to 4 minutes per side (for medium-rare.) An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove the steaks to serving dishes.
• In a small bowl, stir the cornstarch and water until it forms a smooth paste. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the pan sauce, and cook and stir until thickened, about 30 seconds. Top each serving with mushroom-wine sauce to serve.

Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper. Stuff each pocket with about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mushroom mixture, reserving the remaining mushroom mixture for serving. Skewer with toothpicks to close. Brush the steaks with olive oil. Place the steaks in a grill basket (this way any filling that falls out during cooking won't fall into the fire). Transfer the basket to the grill. Close the cover and cook to desired doneness, 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare.

BERNAISE SAUCE: Combine the wine, half the tarragon, the vinegar, garlic, shallots and some salt and pepper in a sauté pan over medium-low heat. Cook until reduced by half. Transfer to a medium metal bowl. Start to whisk the wine mixture in the bowl while adding the butter in increments. (Do not stop whisking throughout this whole process.) Temper the eggs so they do not scramble and add them to the bowl. The sauce will look glossy and thick. Whisk in the lemon juice, if using. Taste for seasoning.
