Ingredients:
– Fresh herbs (thyme and rosemary)
– Olive oil
– Heavy cream
– Filet mignon steaks
– Red wine (Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon)
– Salt and pepper
– Garlic cloves
– Shallots
– Butter
Instructions:
1. Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
2. Season the filet mignon steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until a beautiful golden crust forms.
4. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
5. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and chopped shallots. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
6. Pour in the red wine and let it simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release those tasty drippings. Cook for about 5 minutes until the wine has reduced by half.
7. Stir in the heavy cream, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it thicken for about 3-4 minutes.
8. Add a tablespoon of butter and some fresh herbs, stirring to incorporate. Now, return the seared steaks to the skillet, spooning some sauce over them.
9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for about 5-7 minutes for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness.
10. Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven (be careful, it’ll be hot!) and let the steaks rest for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle with the velvety sauce and garnish with more herbs if you like. Enjoy!
