Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Season the steaks with salt and pepper to taste.

2. Heat a 10-inch heavy skillet over meduim heat for 2 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Increase the heat to meduim-high.

3. Add the steaks and cook, 3-4 minutes per side for meduim-rare. Transfer the filets to an ovenproof dish and place in the heated oven(the steaks will cook a bit more in the oven).

4. Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and shallot. Saute until shallot has softened, about 1 minute.

5. Add wine and cook for 1 minute. Add demi-glace and pomegranate juice, then increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced by half and thickened.

6. Spoon the sauce over the filets. Garnish with chives and pomegranate seeds, if desired.

Note: To substitute for demi-glace, increase the redwine to 1 cup. Add to the skillet with the pomegranate juice in Step 5. Immediately add 2 cups of beef stock, then bring to a simmer and cook until reduced to 1/3 cup. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch blended with 2 tablespoons of water, and cook , stirring constantly, until thickened.
