Wasabi
Stuffed Filet Mignon. In New York City there is
a restaurant named Maison
Japanese. They offer a
delicious selection of food blending
the Japanese and French styles. I
used to go with a friend of mine, David
Hacker. We used to have a grand
time there. Except for the evening
when I stacked the martini glasses
to high and they came smashing
down!
The appetizers were always
exotic dished such as Lobster
Ravioli or a special Warm Duck Salad
in a Spicy Sesame Sauce. The entrees were
always unforgettable.
One comes to mind
however. A juicy filet of beef pan
seared in butter and stuffed with a hot
wasabi mustard. Wasabi is a
Japanese mustard made from powdered
Horseradish. It is available in
most supermarkets. The beef is
cooked to perfection. Then a
deliciously rich beef sauce is spoon
around the beef. This is one of our
favorite beef
dishes.
Ingredients:
Filet Mignon-1 pound.
Wasabi Mustard- 2 1/2 teaspoons
Kosher Salt-1 teaspoon.
Black Pepper- 1/4 teaspoon.
Olive Oil-2 tablespoons.
Beef Bouillon Cubes-2.
Hot Water-2 cups.
Flour-2 tablespoons.
Worcestershire Sauce- 1/2 teaspoon.
Soy Sauce-1 teaspoon.
Butter-2
tablespoons.
Instructions:
Cut a pocket in to the filet
mignons. Salt and pepper the
cavity and outside well. Stuff the
pocket with the
Wasabi Mustard. Set
aside. Place the olive oil and 1
tablespoon of butter in to a frying
pan. On a medium flame sear the
meat for 5 minutes on each side for
rare. Remove the filet on to a
plate. Dissolve the bouillon in the
hot water and pour in to the pan.
Scrape the drippings from the bottom of
the pan to maximize the flavor. Add
the Worcestershire Sauce and Soy
Sauce.
Place the flour in a small
bowl and pour some of the hot sauce
on top of it. Mix the flour
vigorously until it dissolves.
Return the flour mixture to the
pan. Continue mixing until the
sauce thickens. Add the remaining
tablespoon of
butter. Mixing well
. Salt and pepper to taste.
Place the cooked beef on to a plate and
drizzle the beef sauce around the
filet. Serve with
some lovely garlic mashed potatoes and
some fresh steamed asparagus
