Pomegranate-Burgundy Sauce for Filet Mignon
"This recipe appeared in the February 9, 2011, edition of the Shreveport Times. I haven't made it yet, but I don't want to hold on to the newspaper forever where it came from."
- Ready In:
- 1hr
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
2 saucy steaks
- Serves:
- 2
ingredients
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium shallot, minced
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 1⁄3 cup pomegranate juice
- 2 cups beef stock
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
directions
- Cook steaks in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high. Add the steaks and cook 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to an ovenproof dish and place in a 200 degree oven. (I include this because the recipe talked about how to cook the steaks, but I'm only interested in the sauce.).
- Return the skillet to medium heat and add 1 tsp oil and the shallot. Saute until the shallot has softened, about 1 minute. Add the wine and cook for one minute. Add pomegranate juice and the stock, then bring to a simmer and cook until reduced to 1/3 cup. Add cornstarch mixed with water, then cook until thickened.
- Spoon the sauce over the filets and serve (garnished with freshly chopped chives and pomegranate seeds, if desired).

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I teach middle school ELA in a public school here. I like to cook sauces mostly. I have just begun to cook OAMC and make-ahead since acquiring a chest deep freeze. I love looking at all of the posted recipes on here! My day begins with checking out the previous day's new recipes add-ons, the chef of the day, and the most recent forum postings for OAMC. My pet peeves are Curry Chicken from a local restaurant (which seems to go with the more curry powder is more theory) and people who don't like flavorful foods. Update (5 months late, but sue me): I am the proud mama of a beautiful red-haired boy as of April 26, 2010. Already, his favorite foods are: bananas, carrots, pumpkin, applesauce, and roasted pears. He doesn't like potatoes; I know, go figure.</p>
