Medicine Lodge Filet Mignon "Fricassée"

1. 1

   Coat a heavy-bottomed saute pan or saucepan with cooking spray and place over high heat. Add mushrooms and saute until semisoft, about 40 seconds. Season with salt. Stir in tomatoes and saute another 30 seconds or so. Add chives and stir. Pour in just enough Cabernet Sauvignon to cover bottom of pan (deglazing the pan with wine keeps food from sticking and helps blend flavors). Reduce until liquid becomes syrupy. Stir in demi-glace. Bring mixture to a simmer and reduce until it coats back of spoon.

2. 2

   Heat oven to 400u00b0F. Thoroughly coat a heavy-bottomed pan with cooking spray and place on burner over high heat. Season fillets with salt and pepper. Saute both sides until brown and slightly crusty, about 1 minute per side. Place meat in a shallow pan in oven for 5 minutes, which will cook the meat to medium, or adjust cooking time to desired degree of doneness. Transfer each fillet to a plate and ladle fricassee on top. Serve immediately.
