Delicious Filet Mignon with Madeira Sauce Recipe

O Que Você Precisa Saber

- Selar em frigideira quente retém o suco interno e cria uma crosta dourada essencial para o ponto do filé. - O refogado da cebola sobre a crosta da carne solta os açúcares caramelizados e enriquece o sabor do molho. - A farinha de trigo frita na manteiga estabiliza o caldo e o vinho madeira sem criar grumos indesejados.

Ingredients

Main Course

  • 500g of filet mignon
  • 1 cup of Madeira wine
  • 1 tablespoon butter

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté until transparent.

Chef Tips

- Leave the fillets at room temperature for 15 minutes before browning so that the meat does not cool the skillet. - Cook the flour for one minute along with the onion before pouring in the liquids to avoid leaving a raw taste in the sauce. - When returning the meat to the pan, keep it on low heat for only 5 minutes to preserve the pink center.

Variations

- Junte cogumelos frescos fatiados e salteados na manteiga logo após reduzir o caldo de carne. - Adicione raminhos de tomilho fresco desfolhado para perfumar a cebola durante o refogado. - Finalize o molho fora do fogo com meia colher de manteiga gelada para conferir brilho espelhado.

Substitutions

- Madeira wine can be swapped for dry red wine with a teaspoon of sugar or a touch of brandy. - The wheat flour can be replaced by cornstarch diluted in cold water at the end of the preparation. - The tenderloin can be replaced with sirloin or top round sliced into thick medallions.

How to Store

Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a closed skillet over low heat with a spoonful of broth or water to maintain the creaminess without overcooking the meat.

Can You Freeze It?

It is not recommended to freeze the finished fillet, as the meat loses tenderness and the sauce with flour tends to curdle upon thawing. The dish is best when consumed fresh.

What to Serve With

Serve with creamy mashed potatoes, white rice, or rice à la Piamontese. Vegetables sautéed in butter, such as carrots and green beans, balance the dense texture of the sauce.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I ensure the filet mignon is cooked to the right point?

Keep the skillet very hot and respect the 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medallions 2 fingers thick, leaving the center pink.

What to do if the sauce clumps when adding the flour?

Pass the sauce through a fine sieve or beat vigorously with a wire whisk (fouet) over low heat until homogeneous.

Can I replace the homemade beef broth with bouillon cubes?

You can use it, but dissolve it in hot water and reduce the addition of salt to the fillet, as industrial broths already concentrate a lot of sodium.

What is the difference between Madeira wine and table red wine?

Madeira wine is a Portuguese fortified wine with a slightly sweet and woody profile, while common table wine is more acidic.
