Filet Mignon Wsauteed Mushrooms Recipes

FILET MIGNON WITH MUSTARD AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Be sure your stove is well ventilated!
• Heat a large (10-inch) cast-iron skillet over high heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Pat the filets dry with paper towels and brush all over with the canola oil. Combine the fleur de sel and cracked pepper on a small plate and roll the filets on the top, bottom and sides in the seasoning, pressing lightly to coat. When the skillet is very hot, add the filets and sear evenly all over (top, bottom and sides) for about 2 minutes per side.
• Transfer the steaks from the skillet to a sheet pan (set the skillet aside) and place in the oven for 8 to 12 minutes, until the steaks register 120 degrees F on a meat thermometer for medium rare. Remove from the oven, cover the sheet pan tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the butter in a medium (8-inch) saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the mushrooms and saute for 4 to 5 minutes, until they release their juices. Stir in the sherry and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until the mushrooms are cooked through. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper and set aside.
• At the same time, add the olive oil to the cast-iron skillet (don¿t wipe it out), add the shallots and cook over medium-low heat for 2 minutes. Add the Cognac, stirring to deglaze the skillet, and cook for 2 minutes, until the Cognac evaporates and the shallots are tender. Stir in the cream and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, until thickened. Stir in the two mustards and taste for seasonings.
• Remove the strings from the filets and place on a platter. Spoon the mustard sauce around the filets. Spoon the mushrooms on top of the filets and sprinkle with parsley. Serve hot.

FILET MIGNON WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Place bacon in an 8-inch cast iron skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Pour off excess fat from the skillet. Crumble bacon and reserve.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook garlic in the hot butter, stirring, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, salt, and pepper; cook over medium heat, stirring, until liquid from mushrooms starts to evaporate, 5 to 7 minutes. Add bourbon and boil until nearly evaporated. Stir in water, lemon juice, and Worcestershire. Boil until sauce is thickened slightly. Transfer sauce to a small saucepan and stir in reserved bacon and parsley. Keep warm.
• Pat steaks dry with paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Heat remaining butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until foam begins to subside. Sear steaks for 4 minutes; turn over and sear, 3 to 3 1/2 minutes for medium-rare. Divide between 2 plates and spoon sauce over them.

FILET MIGNON IN MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Step 1: Place a large heavy-bottomed pan over medium/high heat and melt in 2 Tbsp butter and 1 Tbsp oil. Add thickly sliced mushrooms and cook 5 min until soft. Stir in onion and cook another 3 minutes. Press in garlic cloves then season with 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper and 1 Tbsp fresh thyme. Cook another 2 min, stirring constantly until garlic is fragrant, then transfer the mushroom mixture to a plate. Wipe the skillet clean with a wet paper towel.
• Step 2: Pat dry steaks with a paper towel and season all over with salt and pepper (we use a total of 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper).
• Step 3: Place the same pan over medium/high heat and add 2 Tbsp butter and 1 Tbsp oil. When butter is hot and finished foaming, add seasoned steaks to skillet and saute, turning over once with tongs about 3-5 min per side for medium-rare (I cooked 5-6 min per side for medium doneness). If steak is browning too fast, reduce heat to medium. Use tongs to transfer steaks to the plate with mushrooms. Please note that thinner steaks will cook faster and thicker steaks can take longer.
• Step 4: Add 1/2 cup Merlot (any will do) and boil until reduced by half (3 min), scraping the bottom with a spatula to deglaze the pan. Add 1 1/2 cups broth and boil until about 2/3 cup liquid remains (5-6 min). Add 1/2 cup cream and boil until sauce thickens slightly (2 min). Return mushrooms and steak to the pan and heat until warmed through (1 - 2 min). Season sauce to taste with more salt & pepper if desired (I added about 1/4 tsp more salt).
• Step 5: Plate the steak and spoon generous amounts of mushroom sauce over the top.

FILET MIGNON WITH MUSHROOMS

• Blend well.
• Stir in warm cream.
• Keep well-heated, in a separate skillet, while you saute the filets in hot butter for 3 minutes per side.
• Saute bread slices in 6 T. butter, turning often to prevent butter from being absorbed.
• Arrange bread slices in a ring on a well heated platter.
• Top with the filets and arrange the mushroom sauce in the center.
• Stir the scotch into pan juices, boil up for a minute or two and spoon sauce over the meat.
• Additional sauce my be served on the side.

FILET MIGNON W/SAUTEED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Sautee a handfull of mushrooms (sliced) in a large skillet in some butter and olive oil. When they are nicely browned, put off to the side of the pan and add more mushrooms. Keep doing this and adding more olive oil and butter as needed. This way, you won't crowd the pan and the mushrooms will obtain a nice flavor. When you have sauteed all of the mushrooms light the grill. While all of the mushrooms are now sauteeing all together, increase the heat and add about 1 cup of vermouth (has great flavor). You may also want to add (if you used dried porcini mushrooms) the porcini mushroom broth at this point. Add some chicken or vegetable broth as the vermouth cooks down. When you have a nice sauce, turn the gas off. Grill the steaks about 3 min on each side (if you like the cross marks, grill 1 1/2 min and turn and then another 1 1/2 min. and turn over. Looks nice. This is for rare, by the way. When steaks are done, place on plate and cover with tinfoil while you finish the mushrooms. To finish the mushrooms, bring heat to high again until bubbling. Add heavy cream or half/half and sautee on high until the sauce is to the thickness you desire. If it gets too thick, add some broth. Don't forget the salt and pepper when you add the vermouth. Also, bring the steak to room temperature prior to grilling and salt and pepper the steaks. You may want to make a nice parmesan risotto with this, or polenta w/gorgonzola and mushrooms.

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.

Return the steaks to the sauce, and simmer briefly until they start to become firm and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 2 to 4 minutes per side (for medium-rare.)
