How to Make Filet Mignon With Cabernet Sauce

  1. Pat the filet mignon steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat the pan with cooking spray.
  3. Add the filet mignon steaks to the hot skillet. Sear for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steaks reach your preferred internal temperature.
  4. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside, loosely tented with foil to rest.
  5. Add the minced shallots to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, until softened.
  6. Stir in the red wine vinegar and soy sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  7. Cook for 1 minute, or until the liquid slightly reduces, stirring constantly.
  8. Add the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, Cabernet Sauvignon, and beef broth.
  9. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until the sauce has reduced to about 1/2 cup, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  10. Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the butter until melted and smooth.
  11. Slice the rested filet mignon steaks and serve immediately, drizzled generously with the Cabernet sauce.
