[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The trade-off with a very tender piece of meat is flavor. Definitely don't cook it past med rare, and a bordelaise sauce, maybe some sautéed mushrooms, would be lovely.[/quote] I agree, they're not that flavorful. One easy sauce is a rosemary balsamic reduction - basically boil down balsamic vinegar with chopped rosemary. Or saute shallots and then add some port and boil down.[/quote] Yes - definitely needs a sauce. A good friend says that filet mignon is steak for people who don't like steak. Less charitably, it's steak for people who have more money than taste (in the literal sense of the term).[/quote] I never realized this but it makes sense now. I love the texture but am often disappointed with the lack of flavor. Any suggestions for an alternative, easily available cut? I usually pan sear mine simply with salt, pepper, butter, olive oil, and sometimes a little deglaze of whiskey, no other sauce. [/quote]
