  • Temperatures are up, the sun is out, and that means the grilling season is well and truly here! Everyone knows the king of all BBQ meats is the steak, but have you ever tried to cook the grandest of all steaks: the filet mignon? Fear not, for Chef Michael Smith is here to teach you how to grill up the perfect filet mignon!
    Ingredients
    2 8-oz beef tenderloin steaks, dried on paper towels
    2 cup your favourite hearty red wine
    1 pinch salt
    lots of fresh pepper
    1 splash oil
    2 Tbsp butter
    4 oz French-style cream cheese
    2 Tbsp whipping cream
    Directions
    1. Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Pat your steaks dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil briefly with the butter, allowing the butter to brown slightly. Add the steaks and sear the first side until its brown and crusty, then flip and give the second side the same treatment until the steaks cook through to your preferred doneness. Use a calibrated thermometer and refer to the following note for best results. Rest the steaks on a plate covered with foil while you craft a quick sauce to dress them up.
    2. Add the wine to the pan and heat vigorously until the wine reduces to a syrup-like consistency, about two minutes. Whisk as the wine cooks dissolving any crusty bits in the pan. Lower the heat and whisk in the cream, stirring until a smooth sauce forms. Whisk in the cheese. Transfer the steaks to waiting plates, smother in wine sauce and share.

    When I make my sauces, I add port, dry red wine, and even a little whisky or a cask strength rum, with rosemary, thyme and garlic. It's ridiculously good

    As a chef myself this is absolutely perfect. I use a mushroom sauce with a red wine reduction at the restaurant. Well done.

    A sprig of oregano dosen't add much flavor, but it sure adds a lot of soil in this case.

    What can I use instead of wine??

    • @blueabattoir
      @blueabattoir 9 месяцев назад

      Unfortunately there is no substitute for wine. You could try non alcohol wine if it’s the alcohol you are worried about. Also, the alcohol evaporates during the reduction.

    taking it out at 135 won't produce medium rare, there will be considerable carry over cooking, you need to take it off the heat at about 117/118 degrees and you'll end up with about 125/127 degrees which is great medium rare.

    Filet mignon isn't expensive if ypu buy a cow from a local farmer. We did, & it's what's for supper tomorrow. If you're gonna cook a steak, cook it! I hate raw meat. French cream cheese. Yeah, I live in the northern Midwest. I've never seen that kind of cheese in the stores.

  • @sgtboz9730

    • @jeremyhauser6193
      @jeremyhauser6193 4 года назад +1

      you can if you want. I do. locks the juices in heavier. but I only sear it abruptly.

    Would Creme Fraiche be an acceptable substitute for French style Cream Cheese?

    • @salvatoreferro1797
      @salvatoreferro1797 5 лет назад +5

      use butter and shallot, it's even better and it's what french use.

    Sauce is for low quality cut of meat!!! I prefer to eat Prime Cut and above. The basics of Garilc, Thyme, Butter Sea Salt and pepper is enough for me. I've cooked the Cap of the steak before didn't like the cut felt it had to much chew veins (don't know what's it's called. Just Porterhouse, Ribeye or NY. Haven't cooked Filet yet. I would proly eat 2 of them! Lol.
