| 1 |
To prepare the sauce, heat the oil in
a saucepan. Add the garlic, onion, carrot, and celery,
and sauté over medium heat for about 7 or 8 minutes, until
the onion is lightly browned. Stir in the tomato paste
and cook for about 2 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the
wine and then stir in the bay leaves, thyme, and peppercorns. |

Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high
heat and reduce by half. Add the stock and return to a
boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook the sauce, stirring
occasionally, for about 30 minutes, until reduced to about
2 cups of liquid. |
| 3 |
Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into
a clean saucepan and keep warm. Season the steaks on both
sides with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a sauté pan,
add the steaks to the hot pan, and sear over medium-high
heat for about 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare
or about 7 minutes per side for medium. |
| 4 |
Remove the steaks from the pan and keep
warm. Add the shallots and mushrooms to the same pan and
sauté over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until
lightly brown. Add the Merlot sauce and bring to a simmer. |
| 5 |
Reduce the liquid by half and stir in
the butter until thoroughly incorporated. Add the parsley
just before serving. Place the steaks in the center of
warm serving plates or shallow serving bowls and spoon
the mushrooms and sauce over and around the filets. Serve
immediately. Serve with Garlic Mashed Potatoes. |
