1 tablespoon of butter
1
tablespoon of olive oil
1/2 pound of fresh exotic mushrooms like chanterelles,
Porcini, shitake, morels, etc.
2 thick filet mignon steaks
1/2 cup of
demi-glace
1/4 cup of Madeira wine
1 shallot
salt and freshly ground
pepper Heat half the
oil and butter in a pan and saute mushrooms for 3 minutes. Remove them. Cook
the steaks in the rest of the oil and butter for 4 or 5 minutes per side until
they sweat juice and set aside. Pour
out some of that fat and fry up the shallot. Add demi-glace and scrape the brown
bits off the bottom of the pan and reduce a bit. Stir in Madeira a wine, salt
and pepper and boil to remove the alcohol. Add mushrooms to reheat and serve the
sauce over the steaks. Will
