Ingredients
- 2 (8-ounce) filet mignon steaks
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 bacon strips
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pound assorted mushrooms, such as shiitake, crimini, and chanterelle, stemmed and halved
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 cups Pinot Noir
- 2 tablespoons prepared demi-glace
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Season both sides of the filet mignon generously with salt and pepper. Wrap a piece of bacon around the sides of each steak and secure with butcher's twine. In a large heavy, ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Place the steaks in the hot pan and cook until well seared on 1 side, about 3 minutes. Turn the steaks over, there should be a nice crust on top. Add the mushrooms, garlic, and rosemary; give everything a good stir. Transfer the pan to the oven. Roast for 10 to 12 minutes or until the steaks are cooked medium-rare.
Remove the steaks, mushrooms, and rosemary to a platter; cover to keep warm. Return the pan to the stove over medium-high heat. Deglaze with the wine, scraping up all the yummy bits in the bottom of the pan. Mix in the demi-glace, stirring to combine. Put the steaks and mushrooms back in the pan and coat in the pan sauce. Finish with a couple of tablespoons of butter to make it rich. Put the steak and mushrooms on 2 serving plates and cut off the butcher's twine from the filets. Pour the wine sauce on top and garnish each plate with a roasted rosemary sprig.

Really good!! I too only added a cup of Pinot and really let it reduce down. I didn't feel the bacon was necessary and I was correct it was awesome without it. I did use the demi glace and I think it really added another level of flavor and helped thicken the sauce a bit. Definitely saving to the recipe box!!

This was a great dish. After reading the reviews I made a few minor changes. I only used 1 cup of wine. And i did not use a demi glace. The steaks still came out juicy and tender. Also I did not use bacon, as I didnt think it would be crispy. The reviewers said it was just fatty. It was fine without the bacon! This recipe is definitely a keeper!

My friend made this dish for me last week and it was the best. The only thing I would change is the amount of wine needed. One cup is plenty Also, he substituted Kitchen Bouquet for the Demi Glase. Is this a bad thing?
