Paired with tender balsamic-glazed asparagus, this dish is a celebration of Napa Valley's finest flavors.
Ingredients: 4 filet mignon steaks 6 ounces each. Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1/4 cup unsalted butter. 4 cloves garlic, minced. 1/4 cup dry red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon. 1/2 cup beef broth. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary. 8 asparagus spears, trimmed. 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze. 2 cups mixed baby greens. 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese. 1/4 cup toasted walnuts. 1/4 cup dried cranberries. 1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette.
Instructions: Warm the grill up to a medium-high level. Add salt and black pepper to the filet mignon steaks. Pour olive oil over the steaks and rub them all over to cover them. Grill steaks for four to five minutes on each side for medium-rare or until done to your liking. Take it off the grill and wait five minutes. Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. For about one minute, until the garlic smells good, add the minced garlic. Add the beef broth and red wine. Add rosemary and thyme and mix well. About 5 to 7 minutes of simmering should do it. To taste, add salt and black pepper. Put olive oil in a different pan and heat it over medium-low heat. For about four to five minutes, or until the asparagus is soft, add the spears. Add the balsamic glaze and set it aside. Add baby greens to a large bowl and add balsamic vinaigrette. Toss the greens as you go. Put them on plates for serving. Put the sliced filet mignon on top of the mixed greens after it has been grilled. Add the red wine reduction sauce on top. Add crumbled goat cheese, toasted walnuts, and dried cranberries to the top of each plate. Fresh asparagus spears glazed with balsamic should be served on the side.
