Categories     dinner, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 slices filet mignon, each about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick and weighing 1/2 pound
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms
1 tablespoon corn, peanut or vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1/4 cup Madeira wine
1/2 cup beef broth
1 teaspoon tomato paste

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the meat on both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Cut mushrooms into thin slices. There should be about 3 cups.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the slices of meat comfortably without crowding. Add the filets and cook until well browned on one side, about 5 minutes. Turn and continue cooking about 15 minutes or slightly longer. Turn the slices every 5 minutes as they cook.
  • Remove the filets to a warm serving platter. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter to the skillet and when it melts add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until mushrooms are wilted. Add the shallots and stir.
  • Cook briefly, stirring and pour in the wine.
  • Blend the beef broth with the tomato paste and add the mixture to the skillet. Add any liquid that has accumulated around the pieces of meat.
  • Cook over moderately high heat about 5 minutes or until the mixture has acquired a saucelike consistency. There should be about 1 cup of sauce or slightly more. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Swirl in the remaining butter and serve the sauce with the meat.
