Last night I tried a Tyler Florence recipe, listed here:
Food TV Link
So I got my filet mignon loin, cut two steaks for the wife and myself, and went to town. The recipe calls for 2, 8oz steaks.
What confused me was the fact that the recipe calls for a whole pound of mushrooms, and 2 cups of Pinot Noir. I thought that was excessive for 2 people, and halved the recipe. I put the Pinot to much better use in my wine glass
In the end, I was still left with enough sauce that I made a cup of rice and mixed it together for lunch today.
Also, the recipe doesn't say anything about reducing the sauce down. I let it reduce a bit after deglazing the pan, anyway.
So what do you think? Should I have left the recipe as is? I would have preferred the sauce to be thicker, but maybe that wasn't Tyler's intention? I'm thinking it would have made stew instead of sauce if I had used the full amount of wine
Oh, and it was delicious The steaks were gorgeous - nice crust on top, medium rare on the inside. *droooool* I did learn to be more careful with my rag when taking the pan out of the oven - the very tip of the handle got the meat of my palm. Ow.

Don't be afraid to use quite a bit of wine when it comes to beef.
