Filet mignon is one of those things you might like to order when you’re out for a special evening at a restaurant. But you’ll find that it’s much more affordable to make filet mignon at home! Sure, it’s an upfront cost to buy this lovely steak, but I find that it’s worth it to buy and enjoy once in a while. The mushroom cabernet sauce in this recipe is so delicious. It’s rich-flavored and wonderful with the filet mignon.
Ingredients needed:
butter shallots shiitake mushrooms (or any kind of mushroom) Cabernet Sauvignon beef broth freshly ground black pepper filet mignon (just two steaks, if making for two people) soy sauce cornstarch dried thyme and/or fresh thyme

Where is the best place to buy filet mignon?
Filet mignon is an expensive cut of meat. There’s no doubt about that. When I splurge on filet mignon, I either pick it up at Costco or Trader Joe’s. Those are the two places I’ve found have the best prices on filet mignon. It’s such a delicious, rich and tender cut of meat, that a small piece should be just fine if you serve with other things like potatoes and green beans.
This recipe serves two. It’s the perfect sort of recipe to save for when you want to serve a romantic dinner for two. You can always double the recipe if you have four people for dinner. Enjoy!
