Transfer the filets to an ovenproof dish and place in the heated oven(the steaks will cook a bit more in the oven). 4. Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and shallot. Saute until shallot has softened, about 1 minute. 5. Add wine and cook for 1 minute. Add demi-glace and pomegranate juice, then increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced by half and thickened. 6. Spoon the sauce over the filets. Garnish with chives and pomegranate seeds, if desired.

FILET OF BEEF BOURGUIGNON

Steps:

• With a sharp knife, cut the filet crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices. Salt and pepper the filets on both sides. In a large, heavy-bottomed pan on medium-high heat, saute the slices of beef in batches with 2 to 3 tablespoons oil until browned on the outside and very rare inside, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove the fillets from the pan and set aside on a platter.
• In the same pan, saute the bacon on medium-low heat for 5 minutes, until browned and crisp. Remove the bacon and set it aside. Drain all the fat, except 2 tablespoons, from the pan. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
• Deglaze the pan with the red wine and cook on high heat for 1 minute, scraping the bottom of the pan. Add the beef stock, tomato paste, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil and cook uncovered on medium-high heat for 10 minutes. Strain the sauce and return it to the pan. Add the onions and carrots and simmer uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes, until the sauce is reduced and the vegetables are cooked.
• With a fork mash 2 tablespoons butter and the flour into a paste and whisk it gently into the sauce. Simmer for 2 minutes to thicken.
• Meanwhile, saute the mushrooms separately in 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil for about 10 minutes, until browned and tender.
• Add the filet of beef slices, the mushrooms, and the bacon to the pan with the vegetables and sauce. Cover and reheat gently for 5 to 10 minutes. Do not overcook. Season, to taste, and serve immediately.

FILET MIGNONS WITH PEPPER CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the peppercorns into a shallow bowl. Sprinkle the beef tenderloin filets with salt on both sides, and coat both sides with crushed peppercorns.
• Melt the butter with the olive oil over high heat in a heavy skillet (not nonstick) until the foam disappears from the butter. Gently place the steaks in the pan, and cook until they start to become firm and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 3 1/2 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove the steaks to platter, and cover tightly with foil.
• Pour the beef broth into the skillet, and use a whisk to stir the broth and scrape up any dissolved brown flavor bits from the skillet. Whisk in the cream, and simmer the sauce until it's reduced and thickened, 6 to 7 minutes. Place the steaks back in the skillet, turn to coat with sauce, and serve with the remaining sauce.

• Remove steaks to two warmed plates, spoon one tablespoon of glaze over each, and serve immediately.

POMEGRANATE-BURGUNDY SAUCE FOR FILET MIGNON

Steps:

• Cook steaks in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high. Add the steaks and cook 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to an ovenproof dish and place in a 200 degree oven. (I include this because the recipe talked about how to cook the steaks, but I'm only interested in the sauce.).
• Return the skillet to medium heat and add 1 tsp oil and the shallot. Saute until the shallot has softened, about 1 minute. Add the wine and cook for one minute. Add pomegranate juice and the stock, then bring to a simmer and cook until reduced to 1/3 cup. Add cornstarch mixed with water, then cook until thickened.
• Spoon the sauce over the filets and serve (garnished with freshly chopped chives and pomegranate seeds, if desired).
