Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the filet mignon steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a small bowl, mix the toasted walnuts and chopped sage together.
- Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the filet mignon steaks and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
- Remove the skillet from heat and press the walnut and sage mixture onto the top of each steak.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 8-10 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.
- While the steaks are cooking, prepare the balsamic glazed shallots. In a separate saucepan, add the sliced shallots, balsamic vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are softened and the mixture has thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
- Once the steaks are done, let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Stir the butter into the balsamic glaze for added richness and serve the glazed shallots over the filet mignon.
- Enjoy your toasted walnut and sage-crusted filet mignon with balsamic glazed shallots!
Notes
For added flavor, consider marinating the filet mignon in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a few hours before cooking.
