Dinner 50 Mins.

Ingredients

2

2 servings

  • 2 slices bacon
  • 1.5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 clove garlic, mashed to a paste
  • 6 white mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 0.33333334326744 cup bourbon
  • 0.33333334326744 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves
  • 2 filet mignon steaks, about 1 inch thick

Instructions

  • Place bacon in an 8-inch cast iron skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Pour off excess fat from the skillet. Crumble bacon and reserve.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook garlic in the hot butter, stirring, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, salt, and pepper; cook over medium heat, stirring, until liquid from mushrooms starts to evaporate, 5 to 7 minutes. Add bourbon and boil until nearly evaporated. Stir in water, lemon juice, and Worcestershire. Boil until sauce is thickened slightly. Transfer sauce to a small saucepan and stir in reserved bacon and parsley. Keep warm.
  • Pat steaks dry with paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Heat remaining butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until foam begins to subside. Sear steaks for 4 minutes; turn over and sear, 3 to 3 1/2 minutes for medium-rare. Divide between 2 plates and spoon sauce over them.
