Beef Tenderloin Sandwiches with Norton-Shiitake Sauce
Ingredients
1 stick unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
6 garlic cloves, minced
4 scallions, minced
1 1/2 pounds shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, caps thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
Coarsely ground black pepper
2 cups beef stock or low-sodium broth
2 cups Missouri Norton or other dry red wine
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon cold water
Salt
2 baguettes
2 pounds filet mignon, sliced 1/2 inch thick
Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
Directions
In a large, deep skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter.
Add one-third of the minced garlic and all of the scallions and cook over
moderately high heat for 1 minute. Add the shiitakes and cook until slightly
softened, about 2 minutes. Add the chili powder, thyme and 1 teaspoon of pepper
and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the shiitakes begin
to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the stock, wine and soy sauce and bring to a
boil. Simmer gently until reduced to 1 cup, about 40 minutes. Stir the
cornstarch slurry and whisk into the liquid. Cook, stirring, until slightly
thickened, about 2 minutes. Season with salt; keep warm.
Preheat the broiler. Cut the baguettes into thirds and split
the pieces lengthwise, taking care not to cut all the way through. In a small
saucepan, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter. Add the remaining minced
garlic and cook over low heat until fragrant, about 4 minutes. Brush the garlic
butter on the baguettes and sprinkle lightly with salt. Broil the bread, cut
side up, for about 1 minute, until golden.
Preheat a grill pan. Brush the tenderloin slices with oil;
season with salt and pepper. Grill the meat in batches over high heat, turning
once, until charred and medium-rare, about 5 minutes. Dip the meat in the
mushroom sauce and arrange on the baguettes. Spoon the mushroom sauce on top,
close the sandwiches and serve.
