Ingredients

Cooking spray

1 spray(s)

Table salt

0.5 tsp

Black pepper

0.5 tsp

Uncooked lean and trimmed beef filet mignon

8 oz

Table wine

6 Tbsp

Unsalted butter

1 tsp

Chives

0.5 Tbsp

Instructions

1

Coat a grill pan (with sides) with cooking spray; set pan over medium-high heat.

2

Rub salt and pepper all over steak. When pan is hot, cook steak for about 4 minutes without flipping. Flip steak and cook for about 4 to 6 minutes more for medium doneness.

3

Remove steak to a cutting board and loosely cover with aluminum foil; let rest for at least 10 minutes (steak will continue to cook under foil).

4

While steak is resting, pour wine onto grill pan; increase heat to high. Reduce liquid by about 75%, scraping bottom and sides of pan while sauce is boiling (the thicker the sauce, the more flavor it will have), about 2 to 4 minutes. If any juice has seeped out of steak while it’s resting, add it to grill pan. Once sauce is reduced, add butter to pan; cook until just melted.

5

Very thinly slice steak against grain and place on plates; drizzle with sauce. Garnish with chives or parsley and serve with asparagus. Yields about 3 1/2 ounces steak, 1 tablespoon sauce and 1/2 of asparagus per serving.
