Filet Mignon With Blackberry Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• In large zip-top bag, combine all ingredients, except butter and fresh blackberries. Squeeze out air and seal bag. Massage bag until well combined and marinade mix is dissolved. Marinate in refrigerator 6 to 8 hours. Remove filets from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
• Melt butter in heavy-bottomed, or cast iron, skillet over medium-high heat.
• Remove steaks from marinade and sear for 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• Serve hot, topped with pan juices and fresh blackberry garnish.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Rinse the filet medallions and pat completely dry. Add the medallions to a medium mixing bowl, and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with sea salt, a few pinches of seasoned salt, and black pepper. With your hands, rub both sides of the medallions until they are covered with the oil and spices. Set aside in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, cover the bottom of a glass baking dish with aluminum foil. Cut off a small slice from the bottom of each pear they can stand up straight and arrange them, upright, in the baking pan. Add garlic and drizzle the pears and garlic with olive oil. Cover with aluminum foil. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes.
• Allow the pears to cool for 30 minutes and then peel off the skin and remove the core.
• Add the garlic, pears and chicken stock to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into saucepan over low heat and season with a couple of pinches of sea salt and pepper and let simmer for a couple of minutes.
• Heat the broiler. Cover a baking sheet with foil and arrange the filet mignon medallions on the pan. Charbroil on high on the top rack, about 6 inches below the broiler. Broil for 5 to 7 minutes for medium-rare. Do not flip.
• Ladle a bed of the roasted pear and garlic sauce on each of 6 plates. Use tongs to top each with a filet and serve.

Steps:

• Season steaks with salt, pepper and garlic.
• Heat oil over medium-high heat until almost smoking.
• Sear the steaks in the hot oil for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Transfer the steaks to a serving plate, tent with foil, and let stand.
• Using the same skillet, add the red wine, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan.
• Let wine boil until reduced by half.
• Add broth, blackberry preserves and chipolte pepper.
• Return to a boil and reduce by half. (The sauce should coat the back of a spoon.).
• Whisk in the butter.
• Season sauce with additional salt and pepper, to taste.
• Drizzle sauce over the steaks.
