Source of Recipe


the web


Recipe Introduction


Serves 1


List of Ingredients




2 slices apple-smoked bacon
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
3 cups baby spinach
1 fillet beef (1/3 - 1/2 lb.)
2-3 teaspoons cracked black peppercorns
1 clove garlic, minced
1/3 cup red wine
1 tablespoon bourbon
2 tablespoons veal demiglace
1 tablespoon cold butter
Salt and pepper to taste


Recipe



Cook bacon in medium skillet until crisp. Renove bacon and crumble. Set pan, with bacon drippings, aside. Heat 2 tsp oil in large skillet. Add spinach, cover and cook until just wilted, 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; set aside. Season both sides of fillet with salt and the peppercorns. Heat the skillet with reserved drippings over high heat. Sear fillet 2-3 minutes on each side, to desired doneness. Remove from skillet and cover loosely. If skillet seems dry, add remaining oil. Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic; cook 1 minute. Increase heat to medium-high. Add wine, bourbon. Heat until reduced to 2 tablespoons. Add demiglace. Boil 15 seconds. Add butter, cook until sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Place spinach on serving plate. Sprinkle with bacon. Top with fillet. Drizzle with sauce.
