How to Make Filet Mignon With Shallot Sauce And Crispy Onions

  1. **Prepare the Shallot Sauce:**
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add 1 cup of thinly sliced shallots and sauté for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  4. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of sugar and stir until the shallots are golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar and boil until reduced to a syrupy consistency, about 1 minute.
  6. Add 1/2 cup beef broth and 1/4 cup dry sherry. Boil until the liquid is reduced to a sauce consistency, about 10 minutes.
  7. Stir in 1 sprig of fresh thyme. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside and keep warm.
  8. **Prepare the Crispy Fried Onions:**
  9. Preheat oven to 240°F (115°C).
  10. Pour vegetable oil into a heavy large saucepan to a depth of 3 inches. Heat to 375°F (190°C).
  11. In a large bowl, stir together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, salt, and pepper.
  12. Add the thinly sliced onion rings and toss to coat, separating the rings.
  13. Working in batches, gently shake off excess flour from the onion rings. Carefully add to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per batch.
  14. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried onion rings to paper towels to drain excess oil.
  15. Place the onion rings on a large baking sheet. Season lightly with additional salt.
  16. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven to keep the onions warm.
  17. **Prepare the Filet Mignon:**
  18. Season the filet mignon steaks generously with salt and pepper.
  19. Preheat your grill or broiler to high heat.
  20. Grill or broil the steaks to your desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for rare. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steak reaches your desired internal temperature.
  21. Transfer the cooked steaks to plates.
  22. Gently rewarm the shallot sauce if needed.
  23. Spoon the shallot sauce around the steaks.
  24. Top the steaks with the crispy fried onions.
  25. Serve immediately and enjoy!
