MARINATED FILET MIGNON
This recipe is similar to the recipe used by Massa's restaurant in Houston. They serve it with their pan roasted fresh vegetable medley (also posted this recipe separately). It's so simple and quick, but impressive, that it's a great recipe for entertaining. Note: I had to give a cooking time, but that varies depending on whether you are grilling steaks (also how thick your steaks are) or if you are roasting the tenderloin.

THE PERFECT FILET MIGNON
A luxe cut of meat like filet mignon needs little embellishment to shine. It's all about technique-and plenty of butter! Searing the steaks creates a beautiful crust and basting them with melted butter infused with garlic and thyme helps keep them tender. A quick pan sauce that comes together while the meat rests is the perfect finishing touch.

Steps:
- Pat the steaks dry, then sprinkle with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Firmly press the seasoning into the meat.
- Heat the oil in a medium stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking, about 2 minutes. Add the steaks and cook until a golden crust forms, about 2 minutes. Flip with tongs and cook until golden on the second side, about 2 minutes (see Cook's Note). Flip again and cook for 2 minutes. Flip once more and add 4 tablespoons of the butter and the thyme and garlic. Let cook, undisturbed, until the butter stops foaming, 1 to 2 minutes. Tilt the pan slightly so the butter pools and spoon it over the steaks. Continue to cook the steaks, basting constantly, until they are medium rare and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 118 degrees F, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Transfer the steaks to a plate to rest. Discard the garlic, thyme and fat from the skillet, but do not wipe out the browned bits.
- Place the same skillet over medium heat and add the shallots and 1 tablespoon butter. Cook, scraping up the browned bits with a wooden spoon, until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the brandy. Return the skillet to the heat and continue to cook over medium until the skillet is dry, being careful as it may ignite, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook until the liquid reduces by half, about 3 minutes. Add the beef stock and bring to a boil. Whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- To serve, slice the steak, spoon the sauce over the top and sprinkle with the chives.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality filet mignon steaks: Look for steaks that are at least 1 inch thick and have good marbling.
- Marinate the steaks for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade in this recipe is made with olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and herbs. You can also use other marinades, such as balsamic vinegar, red wine, or citrus juice.
- Cook the steaks over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the steaks while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the steaks are cooked to your desired doneness: For medium-rare, cook the steaks to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit. For medium, cook the steaks to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. For medium-well, cook the steaks to an internal temperature of 155 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the steaks rest for 5-10 minutes before serving: This will help to redistribute the juices and make the steaks more tender.
- Serve the steaks with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
Conclusion:
Marinated filet mignon with flavored butter is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The steaks are tender, juicy, and flavorful, and the flavored butter adds a touch of luxury. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
