INGREDIENTS

  • Liquids

    • 1 (750 milliliter) bottle Merlot wine
    • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans low-sodium chicken broth
    • 1 (14.5 ounce) can beef broth

  • Dairy

    • 🧈 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • Oils & Seasonings

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • Meat

    • 6 (6 ounce) fillets beef tenderloin

  • Vegetables

    • ¼ cup chopped shallots
    • 🧄 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
    • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme

STEPS

1

In a heavy saucepan over high heat, combine wine, chicken broth, and beef broth. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until mixture is reduced to 2 cups, about 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate if preparing ahead.

2

In a small bowl, mix butter and flour. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle fillet steaks with salt and pepper. Cook in hot oil until medium-rare, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to a plate.

3

Stir shallots, garlic, and thyme into the skillet. Add 2 cups reduced wine mixture; bring to a boil. Scrape up browned bits. Whisk butter mixture into sauce until smooth. Boil sauce until thick enough to coat a spoon, about 2 to 3 minutes.
