Broccolini With Filet Mignon And Balsamic Mushroom Sauce Recipes

FILET MIGNON WITH MUSHROOM RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Generously season each side of the steaks with salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature about 20 minutes before cooking.
• In a cast-iron (or other heavy-duty) skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat. Add half of the shallots and saute until tender for a couple of minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and cook until the water has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the cooked mushrooms to a dish and set aside. Wipe the skillet clean.
• Heat another tablespoon of butter over high heat in the skillet. It will bubble and foam, and after it stops, add the steaks. Sear on each side for about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
• Reduce the heat to medium high. Add the remaining shallots and saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Turn the flame off and add the wine. Turn the flame back on to high, bring to boil and let reduce by half. Whisk in the remaining tablespoon of butter. Stir in the reserved mushrooms.
• Spoon the sauce over the steaks and serve.

BROCCOLINI AND BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water and 2 tablespoons salt to a boil. Remove and discard the bottom third of the broccolini stems. If some stems are very thick, cut them in half lengthwise.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and the pepper. When the water comes to a full boil, add the broccolini, return to a boil, and cook over high heat for 2 minutes, until the stalks are just tender. Drain well and place in a large bowl. Pour enough dressing over the broccolini to moisten and toss well. Splash with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice, sprinkle with salt, and serve warm or hot.

ROASTED BROCCOLINI WITH WINEY MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Put the broccolini on a baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and toss to coat evenly, then spread in a single layer. Roast the broccolini, turning once with tongs, for 10 to 15 minutes, until crisp-tender. If the broccolini stems are not uniform in size, remove thinner ones as they are done. Transfer the broccolini to a platter. (The broccolini can be cooked several hours ahead of time and kept at room temperature.)
• In a large (12 inches or wider), deep frying pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, until starting to soften. Raise the heat to medium-high, add the mushrooms and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 10 minutes, until the mushrooms are golden brown. (The mushrooms will release a lot of liquid before reabsorbing it and browning. Be patient, as the flavor is in the browning.) Add the wine and cook for about 2 minutes more, until the pan is dry. Stir in the pepper.
• Spoon the mushrooms over the broccolini, then scatter some Parmesan over the top. Serve warm or at room temperature.

BALSAMIC-GLAZED FILET MIGNON

Steps:

• Sprinkle both sides of steaks evenly with salt and black pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Coat pan with cooking spray. Add steaks to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Remove steaks from pan; keep warm.
• Add garlic and red pepper to pan; sauté 30 seconds. Add sherry to pan; bring to a boil. Cook 30 seconds.
• Add soy sauce and remaining ingredients; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat, and cook 1 minute. Serve with steaks.

FILET MIGNONS WITH BALSAMIC PAN SAUCE AND TRUFFLE OIL

Steps:

• Sprinkle steaks generously with salt and pepper.
• Coat the bottom of a large, heavy frying pan with olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook to the desired doneness, 3-5 minutes on each side.
• Transfer to a platter and let rest, tented loosely with aluminum foil, while you make the sauce.
• In the same pan over medium-high heat, add the vinegar and deglaze by scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Cook until slightly reduced and thickened, about 3 minutes.
• Remove from the heat. Whisk in the butter to form a smooth sauce.
• To serve, transfer the steaks to individual plates, top with the sauce, and drizzle with a small amount of truffle oil.

BROCCOLINI WITH FILET MIGNON AND BALSAMIC MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• For sauce, saute mushrooms over high heat in 2 tablespoons of butter until limp. Add wine to pan and scrape up any pan drippings Add broth, thyme, vinegar, and pepper. Bring to boil. Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter and blend with flour. Stir flour/butter mixture into sauce and cook, stirring until thickened. Keep warm.
• Grill or broil steaks as desired. Drop Mann's Broccolini into saucepan of boiling water. Drain after 3 minutes. Serve Broccolini and steak with sauce, accompanying with potatoes au gratin, if you like. Makes 2 1/3 cups sauce.
