Tournedos of Beef Marchand de Vin

Ingredients:
4 (3-ounce) medallions of filet mignon
1/4 cup unseasoned flour
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup shallots, diced
1 tbsp garlic, minced
1/4 cup green onions, sliced
1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup Burgundy wine
3 cups beef consommé or 2 cups prepared brown gravy or sauce
salt and pepper to taste

In a heavy-bottom sauté pan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Season medallions lightly with salt and pepper and dust in flour, shaking off all excess. Sauté in butter until golden brown on each side, but do not burn the butter.

Move the medallions over to one side of the skillet then add shallots, garlic, green onions and mushrooms. Sauté 2-3 minutes or until vegetables are wilted. Add red wine to deglaze pan and reduce to 1/4 cup.

Add beef consommé, bring to a rolling boil and reduce to approximately 1 cup, turning beef occasionally. Season sauce with salt and pepper.
