Filet mignon is one of the most tender cuts of beef, prized for its buttery texture and rich flavor. When paired with charred onions and zucchini, and dressed with a tangy balsamic sauce, it becomes a decadent meal that is sure to impress dinner guests. While the cost of filet mignon can be quite high, it is worth it for a special occasion or indulgent treat.

Instructions

1.In a blender, puree the red wine, balsamic vinegar, and shallot until it becomes a smooth liquid. Set aside.
2.Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the filet mignon with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
3.Place the filet mignon on the grill and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached. Let the meat rest.
4.In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the remaining olive oil. Add the sliced onions and zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, until charred and slightly softened.
5.Add the balsamic-wine mixture to the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
6.Stir in the butter until melted and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the filet mignon on top of the charred onions and zucchini, with the balsamic sauce spooned over the top.
