    List of Ingredients




    Filet Mignon w/Madeira-Prune Sauce


    5 large shallots, peeled & halved
    3 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
    1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh thyme
    1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
    1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    4 - 4 oz filet mignon or sirloin steaks, 1 1/4 inches thick, trimmed
    3/4 cup Madeira (see Note)
    1 - 14 oz can reduced-sodium beef broth
    1 teaspoon butter, softened
    1 teaspoon all purpose flour
    1 teaspoon tomato paste
    1/4 cup pitted prunes, coarsely chopped

    Recipe




    Preheat the oven to 425ºF.

    Toss the shallots with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil in a small baking pan.

    Roast the shallots until they begin to brown; about 25
    minutes.

    Meanwhile, combine the thyme, salt & pepper in a small bowl.

    Run this mixture all over the steaks.

    Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

    Add the steaks & cook, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning for 4 to 6 minutes per side for
    medium-rare.

    Transfer the steaks to a plate, tenting with foil to keep
    them warm.

    Add the Madeira to the same pan & cook for 1 minute.

    Add the broth & bring to a boil.

    Continue cooking until the liquid is reduced by about half; 10 to 12 minutes.

    Combine the butter & flour in a small bowl.

    Stir the tomato paste into the pan until it is dissolved, then add the butter-flour paste in small bits, breaking up any lumps with a\ wooden spoon, until it is dissolved.

    Add the prunes & continue cooking until the sauce has thickened; about 3 minutes more.

    Add the roasted shallots & steaks to the pan, along with any accumulate juices.

    Turn the steaks to coat them.

    Cook until they are heated through; 1 to 2 minutes.

    Serve the steaks with the pan sauce.
