Elegant Filet Mignon and New York Steak Recipes

The tenderloin (or filet mignon) and  the New York (or T-bone and Porterhouse if the bone is left in) are some of the most highly regarded steaks.  They are exquisitely tender, with a mild flavor (compared to the more robust ribeye).  They can be grilled, broiled, pan grilled, or sautéed. Below you’ll find a few recipes for cooking these steaks to perfection (it’s not as hard as you might think).

Red Wine Poached Filet Mignon

The filet mignon absorbs flavor beautifully, and so red wine and garlic are the perfect compliments for this poached steak.

Garlic Butter Filet Mignon (from Kleinworth & Co)

This simple yet fancy filet mignon is made from just a few ingredients and cooked in butter for the ultimate tenderness and flavor. Since the filet mignon, while extremely tender, is not a very fatty cut, the fat in the butter is the perfect compliment for this steak. Click here for the recipe.

 

Herb and Mustard Crusted New York

The seasonings are fairly mild, and do not overpower the delicate flavor of the steak.  Try to use fresh basil if possible, which provides a much brighter and richer tone.  This recipe can be used for grilled or broiled steaks.  Tenderloins as well as T-bones and porterhouse steak can also be used.
