Wagyu Tenderloin Filet Mignon Recipe with Truffle Mashed Potato and Reduced Red Wine Demi Glace Sauce

Filet mignon  or  filet de bœuf in France is a steak cut of beef  from the smaller end of the tenderloin or medallion of psoas mayor muscle of the beef carcass, but it sometimes also refers to any cut from the whole tenderloin. The tenderloin is the most tender cut of beef and is also arguably the most desirable and therefore expensive cut. Eversince the filet mignon is only the smaller end tenderloin muscle that not weight-bearing and contains less connective tissue, which makes it probably the most tender cut parts of the tenderloin and weighin not more than 500 grams for every cattle, fillet mignon is the most expensive cut of beef.

Wagyu Tenderloin Filet Mignon

I’m using Tokusen 8-9 marbling grade wagyu tenderloin for making this filet mignon, i guess it’s worth to be a little bit generous since this is just a perfect dish for a special occasions like romantic candle light dinner or christmas eve dinner. Tokusen Wagyu Beef is produced from imported Australian bred Wagyu cattle. Tokusen Wagyu Beef is the first Wagyu beef product that is produced and processed from an Indonesian feedlot and abattoir. Wagyu beef is intensely marbled with softer fat, has higher percentages of monounsaturated fats, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and is lower in cholesterol than commodity beef. The combinations of these fats deliver a distinctive rich and tender flavor compared to other beef. You can replace the wagyu tenderloin with regular cattle, veal or even venison loin.

Recipe Bacon Wrapped  Filet Mignon Wagyu Tenderloin with Truffle Mashed Potato and Reduced Red Wine Demi Glace Sauce

Bacon wrapped filet mignon is a great way to preserved moist from the prescious steak. Store brought filet mignon usually already cut into 2 inch-thick portions. Bacon is often used in cooking filet mignon because of the low levels of fat found in the cut, as fillets have low levels of marbling, or intramuscular fat. Bacon is wrapped around the fillet and pinned closed with a wooden toothpick. This adds flavor and keeps the fillet from drying out during the cooking proces. Even i’m using wagyu breed, the butcher still suggest me to using bacon for wrapping it.

Filet mignon cooking method is a litle bit tricky, basically the the filet mignon tenderloin is generously seasoned, wrapped in bacon then pan fried or grilled and served with sauce. The basic technique for cooking filet mignon is quicky seared on each side of the tenderloin using intense heat and then transferred to a lower heat like oven to cook the meat all the way through. The searing process sealed the meat liquid and keep the flesh moist. Traditionally in European and American restaurants, fillets are most often served with red wine reduction demi glace sauce, a cognac cream sauce, or au poivre with peppercorns.

Medium Rare Wagyu Tenderloin Filet Mignon

Filet mignon is often served rarer than other meats, my personal choice is medium rare. You may notice that my previously steaks recipe is well done simply because it’s my sisters preference. This filet mignon is oficially not my sister-sponsorship steak like my previous Dry Aged Black Angus Striploin Steak with Spicy Balsamic Vinegar and Shallots Jam, Tomahawk Steak Recipe (Bone-in Rib Eye) with Salsa Verde and Grilled Angus Ribeye Beef Steak. If you like the well done filet mignon steak, you could  butterflied the tenderloin filet to expose it more to the heat during the cooking process.

Truffle Mushrooms Mashed Potato with Black Truffle Oil

Truffle mashed potato with black truffle oil is the best pairing for serving the filet mignon.I’m add some dill weed and chopped parsley and cilantro too to the the mashed potato. I’m not add any cream on it just like what i’m used to and replace it with the truffle oil and powdered parmesan cheese. For the sauce i choose reduce red wine demi glaze sauce, but i’m not using any roux on it. Beside, i add some slice plum and homemade cherry tomato confit to give tangy and refreshing flavour for balancing the creamy and savoury filet mignon and truffle mashed potato.
