Filet Mignon and Bourbon Sauce

Ingredients filet mignon (beef tenderloin steaks) salt and black pepper olive oil yellow onion jarred minced garlic bourbon (or whiskey) beef broth granulated sugar heavy cream butter cornstarch

Sprinkle the top and bottom of the filets with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat.

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the yellow onions and jarred minced garlic. Cook about 3 minutes, stirring often.

Pour in the bourbon to deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Stir in the beef broth and sugar and continue to cook and stir for about 2 minutes.

Whisk in the heavy cream and then add butter until melted and well combined.

Remove a few tablespoons of the sauce to a small bowl and whisk in the cornstarch until smooth. Add it to the sauce in the skillet and whisk until smooth.
