Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Filet Mignon steaks (1 inch thick)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup red apple vinegar
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 tsp finely minced shallots
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- Chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish
Instructions
- Remove filet mignon from the refrigerator and let them reach room temperature for about 30 minutes. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Sear each steak for 4-5 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Use tongs to flip them gently.
- Set the steaks aside on a plate covered with foil to keep warm. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, sauté minced shallots and garlic until fragrant (about 2-3 minutes).
- Pour in red apple vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet bottom, and let it simmer until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes).
- Return steaks briefly to the skillet if desired and coat with sauce before serving on plates garnished with fresh parsley or chives.
