Herb Breaded/Crusted Filet Mignon with Red Wine Sauce
Get some flavor into the cadillac cut of beef with a great crust.
Ingredients & method:
I will give the instructions for two filets:
2 - 5 or 6 ounce filet mignons (mine was about 2 inches tall)
5 Tablespoons soft room temperature butter
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (1/4 t dried)
2 teaspoons fresh parsley (1 t dried)
1/4 cup dried store bought bread crumbs
1 small shallot minced
1/4 cup red wine (I used ruby port wine)
1/2 cup store bought beef stock/broth
2 Tablespoons oil for sauté
