Ingredients

  • 4 4- to 6-ounce filet mignon steaks
  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Sweet Balsamic Reduction (page 165)

Method

  • Season both sides of the filets with salt and pepper.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Add the steaks and cook 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  • Arrange the filets on 4 individual plates or on a serving platter.
  • Drizzle the sauce over each filet and serve.
  • Red meat tastes best when cooked to medium-rare, which means the interior of the meat is warm and very red and juicy.
