Time 45m

Yield approximately 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup pecans, toasted
1/2 cup flour
1 whole filet mignon, trimmed
Vegetable oil
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper, to taste
Port wine sauce, recipe follows
1/4 cup chopped shallots
3 ounces butter
1 tablespoon peppercorns
6 ounces Port wine
1/8 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 bunch fresh thyme, leaves
1 1/2 quarts demi-glace

Steps:

  • Preheat oven 375 degrees F.
  • Puree pecans in food processor until mealy in texture. Add the flour and pulse until incorporated with the pecans.
  • Season the filet mignon with the salt and pepper. Sear the filet in hot vegetable oil until it has a rich brown color, turning to brown all sides. Remove from the pan and let it cool for a few minutes.
  • Brush the filet with a light coat of Dijon mustard, using a pastry brush. Pack the pecan and flour mixture on the filet and saute in fresh oil until golden brown on all sides.
  • Place the filet on a rack and finish roasting for approximately 10 minutes. Serve with the Port wine sauce.
  • Sweat shallots in 2 ounces of the butter. Add the peppercorns, wine and vinegar. Reduce the wine slightly. Add the demi glace and simmer until it develops the right consistency and flavor. Strain and stir in the remaining butter.

The pecan crust on this filet mignon was too thick and overpowering. I would use less pecans next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the filet mignon came out tough and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.
