Seared beef filets oven-roasted and topped with marinated balsamic strawberries for a sweet and savory touch, perfect for a romantic meal.
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups strawberries, sliced
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar
  • 0.25 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 4 (6 ounce) filet mignon (beef tenderloin)
  • 1 tablespoon chilled butter
Instructions:
  • Combine the strawberries, brown sugar, and balsamic vinegar in a bowl, then let the flavors meld for 1 to 3 hours, stirring from time to time.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a hot oven-safe skillet, sear seasoned filets in olive oil until well-browned on each side. Finish cooking in the oven until desired doneness, about 10 minutes, reaching an internal temperature of 130°F. Rest covered with foil before serving.
  • Transfer the steak juices from the skillet to a small saucepan. Strain and discard the liquid from the strawberries. Combine strawberries with steak juices in the saucepan and simmer over medium-low heat. Melt butter into the sauce by tilting the pan gently. Serve each fillet with 1/2 cup of strawberries and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper on top.
