Although this filet is such a simple recipe, you can feel confident serving it to your guests. The rich sauce adds a touch of elegance. Just add a salad and rolls.—Jauneen Hosking, Waterford, Wisconsin

Ingredients

  • 2 beef tenderloin steaks (8 ounces each)
  • 3 tablespoons butter, divided

  • 1 cup merlot
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions

  • In a small skillet, cook steaks in 1 tablespoon butter and oil over medium heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Remove and keep warm.
  • In the same skillet, add wine, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to 1/4 cup. Add the cream, salt and remaining butter; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until slightly thickened and butter is melted. Serve with steaks. Yield: 2 servings.

This was definitely easy to prepare and did deliver an awesome meal. The sauce was pretty good but didn't add that much to the steak.

Nothing to write home about. Sauce too oily and separates from the wine.
