Grilled Filet Mignon With Brandy Mustard Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to high. Brush the steaks with oil; season with salt and pepper to your taste.
• 2. Prepare all your sauce ingredients and have them lined up for use.
• 3. Grill the steaks until cooked to desired doneness, 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
• 4. While the steaks are cooking, heat 1 tbsp oil in a large cast-iron skillet set on the grill alongside the steaks. Add the mushrooms and shallots to the skillet and stir until the mushrooms are tender and browned in spots and the shallots are tender, 4-5 minutes.
• 5. Remove the skillet from heat; stir in brandy (CAUTION: Mixture may ignite). Return the skillet to the grill. Add the broth, Dijon mustard, and thyme leaves; stir to blend. At this point your steaks should be ready to come off the grill to rest.
• 6. Add the cream to the mushroom mixture. Simmer until the mushroom sauce is slightly thickened, 4-5 minutes. Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and cayenne.
• 7. Spoon the sauce onto plates; top each with a filet. Garnish with chives.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Be sure your stove is well ventilated!
• Heat a large (10-inch) cast-iron skillet over high heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Pat the filets dry with paper towels and brush all over with the canola oil. Combine the fleur de sel and cracked pepper on a small plate and roll the filets on the top, bottom and sides in the seasoning, pressing lightly to coat. When the skillet is very hot, add the filets and sear evenly all over (top, bottom and sides) for about 2 minutes per side.
• Transfer the steaks from the skillet to a sheet pan (set the skillet aside) and place in the oven for 8 to 12 minutes, until the steaks register 120 degrees F on a meat thermometer for medium rare. Remove from the oven, cover the sheet pan tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the butter in a medium (8-inch) saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the mushrooms and saute for 4 to 5 minutes, until they release their juices. Stir in the sherry and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until the mushrooms are cooked through. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper and set aside.
• At the same time, add the olive oil to the cast-iron skillet (don¿t wipe it out), add the shallots and cook over medium-low heat for 2 minutes. Add the Cognac, stirring to deglaze the skillet, and cook for 2 minutes, until the Cognac evaporates and the shallots are tender. Stir in the cream and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, until thickened. Stir in the two mustards and taste for seasonings.
• Remove the strings from the filets and place on a platter. Spoon the mustard sauce around the filets. Spoon the mushrooms on top of the filets and sprinkle with parsley. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Halve filet crosswise and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil over moderate heat in a small heavy skillet until hot but not smoking, then cook filets 2 to 3 minutes on each side for rare. Let stand on a cutting board, tented loosely with foil, 5 minutes. While filets are standing, deglaze skillet with Cognac over moderate heat, scraping up brown bits. Add broth and water and boil until reduced to about 1/4 cup. Remove from heat and whisk in mustard, butter, any meat juices from cutting board, and salt and pepper to taste. Thinly slice filets and serve with sauce.

• Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to high. Brush steaks with oil; season with salt and pepper.
• Grill steaks until cooked to desired doneness, 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast-iron skillet set on grill alongside steaks. Add mushrooms and shallots to skillet and stir until mushrooms are tender and browned in spots and shallots are tender, 4-5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat; stir in brandy (caution: Mixture may ignite). Return skillet to grill. Add broth, Dijon mustard, and thyme leaves; stir to blend.
• Add cream; simmer until mushroom sauce is slightly thickened, 4-5 minutes. Season sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and cayenne.
• Spoon sauce onto plates; top each with a filet. Garnish with chives.

Steps:

• Pour heavy cream into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer until the cream has reduced by half, stirring occasionally, about an hour. Remove from heat and whisk in the Gorgonzola cheese and Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, until the cheese has melted.
• Season the beef tenderloin with lemon pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside. Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook the steaks until they start to firm, and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 3 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove the steaks from the grill and tent with foil to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve each steak with the Gorgonzola sauce and top with crumbled bacon and chopped green onion.

Steps:

• Heat skillet in medium high setting.
• Add olive oil and heat for about 30 seconds.
• Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Add the steaks and the garlic to the skillet and pan sear each side for about 3-4 minutes.
• Steaks will be medium rare (internal temperature of 140-145 degrees F.) when small drops of juice begin to ooze on the surface of the steaks.
• Transfer meat to a warm plate.
• Add the brandy or cognac to the pan and heat until the liquid is reduced by half.
• Discard the garlic and add the butter and stir until melted.
• Pour over filets and garnish with parsley.

Steps:

• Season steaks with seasoned salt and black pepper, and arrange in a single layer in a large baking dish. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, and rosemary. Pour mixture over filets, and turn to coat. Marinate for up to 30 minutes.
• While you are marinating the meat, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onion slices in butter until soft, then stir in sugar. Continue cooking until onions are caramelized. Set aside.
• Preheat grill for high heat on one side, and medium heat on the other side.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Place steaks on the hot side of the grill, and cook for 10 minutes, turning once. When the steaks are almost done, move to the cooler side of the grill. Top each filet with a quarter of the caramelized onions and blue cheese. Close the lid, and continue cooking until the cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Sprinkle filets with salt and pepper to taste.
• In large skillet, melt butter.
• Cook filets as desired.
• Pour brandy over meat.
• Ignite carefully.
• When flame dies, remove meat to heated platter.
• Cook onion in drippings.
• Stir in heavy cream.
• Simmer until sauce slightly thickens.
• Mix in mustard.
• Serve sauce immediately over filets.
