Directions:
Making the Sauce Medoc:
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large, heavy saucepan.
Add the shallots, celery, bay leaf, mushrooms, thyme and crushed peppercorns.
Sauté together until browned.
Add the wine and sugar and heat slightly.
Flambé (ignite with a long match).
When the flames subside, add the Demi-Glace and cook until the sauce is reduced by half.
Strain the sauce through a fine sieve and set aside.
Preparing the Fillet Mignon:
In a heavy sauté pan, heat the olive oil and 1 Tbsp butter until sizzling.
Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper.
Sauté until well browned on both sides.
When the beef is medium-rare, beads of red juice from inside the fillet will appear on the surface .. . that’s the time to remove the beef from the pan.
Remove the fillet from the pan, keeping them warm on a plate.
Pour off the fat from the pan and deglaze with red wine.
Add the Sauce Medoc and allow the liquid to reduce until it lightly coats the spoon.
Beat in the remaining butter.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour any juices on the plate from the fillets back into the sauce.
Arrange each fillet in the center of a large, heated dinner plate and ladle the sauce around.
Serve immediately.
