How to Make Filet Mignon With Chipotle Adobo Sauce

  1. Combine 1 (4 ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, 1/4 cup adobo sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender.
  2. Blend until completely smooth.
  3. Season two 6-ounce filet mignon steaks generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Place the steaks in a resealable zip-top bag. Pour the chipotle adobo sauce over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated.
  5. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
  6. Remove steaks from marinade and reserve the sauce. Gently simmer the sauce in a small saucepan over low heat until warmed through.
  7. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy (130-135°F for medium-rare).
  8. Remove steaks from grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes, loosely tented with foil. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender steak.
  9. Collect any accumulated juices from the resting steaks and add them to the warmed chipotle adobo sauce.
  10. Slice the steaks against the grain into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
  11. Serve the sliced filet mignon over cooked rice. Generously spoon the chipotle adobo sauce over the steak and rice.
