I came across this one while searching for Valentine’s Day crafts, it actually came from Good Housekeeping I feel old admitting to that however I actually like the magazine!
Ingredients:
- 4 (about 4 ounces each) well-trimmed beef tenderloin steaks (filet mignon), 3/4 inch thick

- 1 (1/4 cup) large shallot, minced

Directions:
Sprinkle steaks on both sides with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Heat nonstick 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add steaks and cook 8 to 10 minutes for medium-rare or until desired doneness, turning steaks over once. Transfer steaks to platter; keep warm.
To drippings in skillet, add oil and shallot, and cook 1 minute, stirring often.
