Filet Mignons With Balsamic Pan Sauce And Truffle Oil Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Sprinkle freshly ground pepper over both sides of each steak, and sprinkle with salt to taste.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place steaks in hot pan, and cook for 1 minute on each side, or until browned. Reduce heat to medium-low, and add balsamic vinegar and red wine. Cover, and cook for 4 minutes on each side, basting with sauce when you turn the meat over.
• Remove steaks to two warmed plates, spoon one tablespoon of glaze over each, and serve immediately.
