Filet Mignon with Glazed Mushrooms
Total time: 35 minutes
Small, thick-cut filet mignon are perfect done on the barbecue grill. A wrap of bacon adds flavor and helps the steak stay moist. We've painted these with a light marinade and served with some savory glazed mushrooms.
Ingredients:
- 2 6oz (180gr) filet mignon steaks (tournedos)
- 2 - 4 strips bacon optional
- 4oz (125gr) mushrooms
- 1 tbs butter
- 1 tbs Worcestershire Sauce
- Marinade:
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 1 tbs Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 tbs ketchup
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Instructions:
- Wrap bacon around steaks (if using) and secure with toothpicks or kitchen string.
- Mix Worcestershire sauce, oil, ketchup, oregano, chili, garlic and brush on steaks. Set aside.
- Clean mushrooms and thickly slice.
- Heat butter and Worcestershire in medium nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Add mushrooms and sauté, stirring frequently, until they are dark and glazed, about 10 minutes. You may have to turn the heat down a bit after 7 or 8 minutes. Set aside and partially cover to keep warm.
- Cook steaks on barbecue grill until done to your liking. We'll cook ours about 3 minutes per side for medium rare, 4 - 5 minutes per side for medium, but it depends on.... thickness of steak, heat of grill, etc.
- Put a steak on each plate, spoon mushrooms on the side and serve.
- Note: Could be done under the broiler (grill) for about the same time.
