Ingredients
Filet Mignon:
- 1 (5-pound) beef tenderloin
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Season tenderloin with salt and pepper on both sides. Place a large ovenproof skillet over high heat, melt the butter and sear tenderloin on all sides. Place in oven and cook to desired doneness or until an instant-read thermometer inserted registers 125 degrees F for medium rare, about 30 to 40 minutes depending on the thickness of the tenderloin. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the sauce.
Rum-Red Chili Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 shallots, minced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 cup dark rum (recommended: Meyers's)
- 5 cups chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons ancho chili puree
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper

This sauce was not for me; yuck. The flavors with the rum ( I used Meyers and molasses was way too strong.

I've made this for friends and family a few times and EVERY SINGLE PERSON said it was the best tenderloin they'd ever had. I wouldn't change a thing, it's amazing. I'm making it for Christmas this year- it's easier, faster, and fancier than a turkey, and a nice holiday change.
