Grilled Filet Mignon with Mushroom Sauce


It's hard to make a good steak better, but this sauce does it. Seriously, we ate it the next day with a spoon. Next time I will make a triple batch. Serve this at your next dinner party - it's so easy!

Recipe
  • 1 lb sliced mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 sweet onion, sliced
  • 1/2 cup red wine (I used Castle Rock Pinot Noir)
  • 3/4 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • several dashes worcestershire
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Melt the butter over medium heat, then add the onions and cook for several minutes. Add the red wine and let it reduce a bit, then add the mushrooms, beef broth, and worcestershire. Cook for about 10 minutes, bringing to a low simmer, letting it reduce and thicken. Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the heavy cream, rosemary, and pepper. Continue simmering until the sauce thickens. Add more beef broth if you prefer a thinner sauce.

I'll leave the steak grilling up to you, I am no expert. I think we grilled our two 6 oz filets for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium. Spoon the sauce over the steak, and serve!
