Filet Mignon “Chacho”

Ingredients

4 - 8 oz. Filet Mignons
Columbia Seasoning (available for purchase at our gift shops or online: www.columbiarestaurant.com )
4 oz. Booker Noe Bourbon
Chacho Sauce

Preparation

Season filets with Columbia seasoning. Before cooking filets, allow them to come to room temperature to ensure even cooking. Grille filets until desires temperature and place on individual plates. Ladle sauce generously over each filet. Fill a tablespoon with approximately 1 ounce of Booker Noe bourbon and ignite. Pour flaming bourbon over the filet allowing the flame to burn out. Repeat until all filets have been flambéed. Serves 4.

Chacho Sauce:

¼ cup Spanish extra-virgin olive oil
4 cups water
¼ cup shallots, minced
1 cup beef demi-glaze
1 ¼ cup button mushrooms, sliced

Heat oil and cook shallots until translucent. Add mushrooms and cook for approximately 3 minutes. Add water and bring to a boil. Stir in demi-glaze and simmer for 3 minutes. Keep warm until use, or if prepared in advance, refrigerate until use. Makes 5 cups.



At Columbia Restaurant, we believe that two aspects of elegant dining deserve specialized attention: The preparation and serving of the cuisine and the selection of the finest wines to accompany each meal.
