Fillet mignon with a red wine sauce is a classic dish that is sure to please. The tender fillet mignon is pan seared to perfection, and served with a rich and flavorful red wine sauce. The sauce is made with red wine, and the butter and herbs left in the pan from the filets. It’s the perfect accompaniment to the juicy and tender fillet mignon. The filets are sautéed until golden brown and set aside, then the red wine is added. The sauce is then simmered until it reduces into a thick and flavorful sauce that coats the fillet mignon. Serve the fillet mignon with a side of mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and a glass of the same red wine used in the sauce for a truly delicious meal.
