Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

four 4-ounce fully trimmed center-cut filets mignons
1 cup veal demiglace
1 cup water
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons bottled horseradish

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Season filets with salt and pepper.

    Step 2

    In a 2-quart saucepan heat demiglace and water just to a simmer and add steak. Add some boiling water to mixture if necessary to make enough liquid to just cover steak. Poach steak at a bare simmer (meat will toughen if liquid is allowed to boil), without turning, 8 minutes and remove from broth. Boil broth over high heat until reduced to about 1/2 cup and stir in mustard and horseradish. Keep sauce warm over low heat and halve steaks horizontally.

  2. Step 3

    Mound quinoa mixture on 1 side of 4 large plates and arrange 2 slices steak alongside. Spoon sauce over steak.
