Recipe: Filet Mignon With Blackberry Sauce
Description: This is from the Food Network.  I changed it by adding a chipotle pepper to the sauce for a spicy, sweet, smokey flavor.
Ingredients: [{"text": "4 filet mignon steaks"}, {"text": "2 tablespoons olive oil"}, {"text": "1 garlic clove, minced"}, {"text": "kosher salt"}, {"text": "pepper"}, {"text": "1/2 cup dry red wine"}, {"text": "1 cup beef broth"}, {"text": "3 tablespoons blackberry preserves"}, {"text": "1 chipotle pepper, minced"}, {"text": "2 tablespoons butter"}]
Instructions: Season steaks with salt, pepper and garlic.
Heat oil over medium-high heat until almost smoking.
Sear the steaks in the hot oil for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Transfer the steaks to a serving plate, tent with foil, and let stand.
Using the same skillet, add the red wine, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan.
Let wine boil until reduced by half.
Add broth, blackberry preserves and chipolte pepper.
Return to a boil and reduce by half. (The sauce should coat the back of a spoon.).
Whisk in the butter.
Season sauce with additional salt and pepper, to taste.
Drizzle sauce over the steaks.
