Ingredients
2 six or eight ounce steaks
sea salt
fresh cracked pepper
1/2 cup of water
1 tsp of tomato paste
1 tbsp of balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp of worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup of marsala wine
Directions
MAKING
1. Mix sauce ingredients (except for shallot and butter) in a bowl and set aside.
To cook Filet Mignon:
2. Preheat pan on high.
3. Add 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil.
4. Add steaks and lower heat to medium.
5. Turn steaks after 3-5 minutes.
6. To sear edges, set steaks on their side.
7. Check doneness of the other side after 3-5 minutes. The steaks will continue to cook once you remove them — a term known as carry-over cooking.
8. Remove filet mignons, and using the same pan, add diced shallots to pan.
9. Scrape the meat off the bottom of the pan.
10. Add sauce mix and turn pan back to high.
11. Cook until it has reduced by half.
12. Next, finish the sauce and add 1 tablespoon of butter to the sauce. This will help thicken it a bit more and give the sauce a nice shine.
