The Manhattan Filet with Pan Sauce Bordelaise is a classic dish that has its origins in French cuisine. The word "filet" in French means boneless, and this cut of meat comes from the tenderloin section of the cow. It is a high-quality cut of beef that is highly prized for its flavor and tenderness. The pan sauce bordelaise is a rich and savory reduction sauce that is made with red wine and chicken broth, which adds a depth of flavor to the dish. This meal is perfect for an elegant dinner party or a romantic date night in.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 400°F(200°C). Season steaks with salt and pepper.
2.	Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add oil and swirl to coat. Add steaks to the skillet and cook until deeply browned, about 3-4 minutes each side.
3.	Transfer the steaks to the preheated oven and cook until done, 6-7 minutes for medium-rare or until they reach the desired level of doneness.
4.	Remove steaks from the skillet and keep warm.
5.	Lower the heat to medium and add the sliced shallots to the same skillet, cook until softened.
6.	Pour in the wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon, simmer until reduced by half.
7.	Pour in the chicken broth and simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in cold butter until melted.
8.	Serve steaks with pan sauce bordelaise on top.
