Ingredients:

  • 1 Pre Center Cut Beef Tenderloin or 6 Pre Filet Mignon Steaks
  • 1 large shallot, minced
  • 3-4 sprigs Thyme, minced
  • 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp. cold butter
  • Bou beef cube dissolved in 10 oz of water
  • 1/2 cup Red wine 

Beef Tenderloin:

  1. Preheat a large, heavy skillet on medium-high heat.
  2. Pat tenderloin dry and season liberally with salt and pepper.
  3. Drizzle enough grapeseed oil (or your preferred high heat neutral cooking oil) in the heated pan. Place the seasoned tenderloin in the pan and sear on all sides.
  4. Turn down the flame on your pan and set tenderloin on a parchment-lined sheet tray with a rack.
  5. Place into a 400ºF oven and roast for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature is 135º.

 

Filet Mignon Steaks: 

  1. Preheat a cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat.
  2. Pat steaks dry and season liberally with salt and pepper.
  3. Drizzle enough grapeseed oil (or your preferred high heat neutral cooking oil) in the heated pan. 
  4. Place steaks in the pan and cook to your desired doneness. For medium-rare cook until the internal temperature reads 105º to 115º. This is about 4.5 minutes on each side.
  5. Let rest for at least 7 minutes before slicing.

 

Classic Pan Sauce:

  1. While the tenderloin finishes cooking or while your steaks are resting, add a finely minced shallot to the pan while scraping any fond off the bottom. Turn off the heat completely and add in the wine.
  2. Deglaze any remaining fond with a wooden spoon. Turn back on the heat and allow the red wine to reduce by half. 
  3. Add in Bou beef broth and allow to reduce a little bit. 
  4. Before serving, whisk in minced thyme, dijon mustard and cold butter off the heat. Be careful not to let the sauce boil after adding in the dijon and butter. This will make the sauce extra flavorful and silky. 
  5. Serve underneath freshly sliced center-cut tenderloin.

See what people are saying

"Real talk...since my cancer was environmental and not hereditary I am super conscious of what goes into my body, especially protein. Post chemo left my body super low in iron so steak remains in my diet. I found Pre a few months ago and it’s the only meat I buy. Grass-fed, no added hormones and most importantly affordable. Eat better for your body people!"

jaqueline

"Your steaks, especially the sirloin, ribeye, and filet mignon are absolutely delicious. Wasn’t sure how these cuts would taste grilled but they taste just as good if not better than cuts I’ve had a top notch steakhouses."

Mario

"When our son was diagnosed with a rare medical disorder, it meant that we would have to change our diet as a family. Because his metabolism doesn’t function like a typical person’s, we have to be very careful about what we feed him. One of the changes we made was to use more grass-fed and finished beef in our cooking. We decided to give Pre a try, and we are so happy with the quality and taste of the meat. Buying from Pre gives us peace of mind and we feel confident knowing that we are using a product in the top of its class."

Lindsay

"This beef is AMAZING! I'm from Wisconsin so a huge steak lover. This is some of the best beef, I've experienced and I've had beef around the world. It's a must try, and you'll understand what I mean."

Tracy

"My husband and I loved having these filets once a week. I sear both sides and "in-between" in a very hot small Lodge cast iron skillet. I use a spatter guard. Then I place the skillet in a 400 degree oven for between 2min. 10-20 seconds. Perfect medium minus filets. My mouth is watering as I write this!!"

Mary M.

"These steaks and other Pre products have been a staple in our home for over a year now and we continue to be fully satisfied with their consistently good quality and flavor. They are the perfect size, are delicious and easy to cook. Add Pre’s amazing customer service to it and you end up with an exceptional overall product!"

K.G.

"Best steak I've had in a long time. I love being able to order grass fed beef that is way better than I can find in grocery stores. Really tastes great on the grill . I'm addicted to it now."

Jeff S.

"First time trying the 10 Pack New York Strips. Oh My! had an unexpectedly warm day and whipped out the grill. Enough said. Delish !!!! Steaks are equally cut making cooking much easier for the desired temp."
