Cook Time: 15 min
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients Add to grocery list

1 cup low-sodium beef broth
1/2 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
2 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4   (6-ounce) filet mignon steaks
3 tablespoon blackberry preserves
2 tablespoon unsalted butter
compound butter for garnish, recipe follows
blackberries for garnish

Compound Butter:
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup fresh blackberries

Directions

Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. In a heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Sear the steaks in the hot oil for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to a serving plate, tent with foil, and let stand. 

Using the same skillet, saute the shallots for 1 minute. Add the red wine, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Let wine boil until reduced by half. Add broth and blackberry preserves, return to a boil and reduce by half. (The sauce should coat the back of a spoon.) Whisk in the 2 tablespoons butter. Season sauce with additional salt and pepper, to taste. 

To serve, drizzle the sauce over the steaks. Place a pat of compound butter and scatter a few blackberries on the plate. 

Compound Butter:

In a bowl, combine butter and blackberries and mix well. 

Place on plastic wrap to mold into a log shape. Wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
