Filet Mignon with Mushroom Marsala Sauce

Yield: 4 servings

4 (6 ounces) filet mignons
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups mushrooms, sliced
3/4 cup Marsala wine
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup green onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon butter

Trim filets of excess fat and season on both sides with salt and pepper.

In a large, heavy skillet melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the filets and cook for approximately 4 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness. Remove filets from the skillet and keep warm.

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and saut for approximately 1 minute.

Deglaze the pan with the Marsala wine. After 30 seconds, add the Balsamic vinegar and heat until the liquid is reduced by half. Remove from heat and add the green onion slices. Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.

Ladle sauce over filet mignons and serve.
