Directions
Beef Tenderloin Steak With Mushrooms and Madeira, Beef tenderloin is also called Filet Mignon or Porterhouse, this is an amazing steak recipe that can be doubled if desired Next to grilled steak this is my favorite recipe to use for a top quality cut of beef steak, just try this, and it will become your favorite! I have also used dry sherry in place of the Madeira wine, and it worked fine, but Madeira is better , My first try and it turned out beautifully, served it with fresh home made pasta, grilled asparagus and garlic sauted green beans ( keeping everyone veggie happy) I t was a perfect dinner for family travelling with an uncertain arrival time Once they were here it was 20 minutes to dinner on the table! I think this will be a new favourite!, I have made this many times and this dish never disappoints It is a variation of Julia Child’s Boeuf Saute a la Parisienne A couple of tips–when reducing the wine/stock, watch closely because it is very easy to over-reduce Also instead of the beurre manie thickener, a tsp or two of cornstarch mixed with a little of the cream then added will thicken the sauce beautifully I usually accompany this dish with a mushroom/onion pilaf and either a veg or a salad A nice Chateauneuf du Pape rounds this out very well
