Ingredients:
-
2 tbsp olive oil
-
2 tbsp unsalted butter
-
1 garlic clove, minced
-
1 sprig fresh rosemary or thyme
-
Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
For the Red Wine Sauce:
-
1 cup dry red wine
-
1 cup beef stock
-
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
-
1 tbsp unsalted butter
-
1 tsp sugar
Method:
-
Season the fillets generously with salt and pepper.
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the medallions for 2-3 minutes per side until deeply golden.
-
Reduce heat, add butter, garlic, and herbs, then baste the steaks with the melted butter for another 2 minutes (or until they reach 55-60°C for medium-rare). Remove and let rest.
Make the Red Wine Sauce:
-
In the same skillet, deglaze with red wine, scraping up all the delicious browned bits.
-
Add beef stock, balsamic vinegar, and sugar, then simmer until the sauce reduces by half and thickens slightly.
-
Finish by whisking in butter for a silky, glossy sauce.
Plate the rested fillets, drizzle generously with the red wine reduction, and serve with your favorite sides.
A date-night masterpiece—luxurious, tender, and unforgettable. ❤️🍷🔥
