This is one of my favorite Filet Mignon recipes. I don’t know where Mignon is, but I would like to live there when I retire.

INGREDIENTS:
Four (6 – ounce) filets mignon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 Tablespoons butter
2 cups sliced mushrooms
3/4 cup Marsala wine
1/4 cup Balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion
1 extra Tablespoon butter

DIRECTIONS:

Trim excess fat from steaks and season both sides with salt and pepper. In a large, heavy skillet melt 2 Tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the filets and cook for approximately 4 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness. Remove filets from skillet and keep warm.

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and saute for approximately 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with the Marsala wine. After 30 seconds, add the Balsamic vinegar and heat until liquid is reduced by half.

Remove from heat and add the green onion slices. Ladle sauce over filet mignons and serve.
