Filet Mignon Pan Sauce Recipes?
 

Does anybody know of a quick pan sauce recipe for steak, in this instance filet mignon? I do not have the time to prepare a proper demi-glace.

Ok, seriously, you're preparing filet mignon but don't have time to make a proper sauce?

Uh, run to the store and buy some boar's head horseradish sauce? Don't cook it til you have more time?

This thread makes me unhappy.

Ok, if you have any red wine, try this:

6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (or use salted, it don't matter)
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 1/2 cups dry red wine

melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Add garlic and oregano and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in some tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Whisk in the wine. Simmer until the sauce reduces by half, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat. Strain the sauce into a small bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids in the strainer and return the sauce to the saucepan and bring back to a slow simmer. Cut 4 tablespoons of butter into small 1/2-inch chunks and whisk in the sauce a little at a time. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper.

It takes 10 minutes to grill a filet. It takes 10 hours to make a proper demi-glace.

Just Deglaze the pan with a little red wine, then whisk in some soft butter, a touch of garlic powder, Worchester and a little heavy cream.

Or really cheap out and go with bottled Béarnaise sauce.

If you want to use shallots, just use 1, mince it up and put it in when you deglaze the pan.
