Filet Mignon Bearnaise with Roasted Cauliflower
- Four 4-ounce portions lean filet mignon (about 1 1/2 inches thick), trimmed of all visible fat
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Nonfat cooking spray
- 1 head cauliflower, cut into 1-inch florets (4 to 5 cups)
- 1/4 cup tarragon vinegar or white wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 2 large shallots, chopped very fine (about 1/3 cup)
- 1 tablespoon dried tarragon leaves
- 1/2 cup low-fat, low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2/3 cup Greek yogurt
- Preheat the oven to 450 F. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet lined with foil, and set it aside.
- Heat a large cast-iron pan over high heat.
- Season the steaks with salt and pepper to taste.
- When the pan is hot, spray it with cooking spray and add the steaks.
- Sear the steaks until dark golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side.
- Transfer the steaks to the wire rack, place the baking sheet in the oven, and roast for 4 to 5 minutes for medium-rare.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and tent it with foil to keep the steaks warm.
- Respray the cast-iron pan generously with cooking spray, and return it to high heat.
- Add the cauliflower and cook, stirring occasionally, until it starts to brown, about 4 minutes.
- Season the cauliflower with salt and pepper to taste, transfer the pan to the oven, and roast until the cauliflower is tender, about 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the vinegar, wine, shallots, and tarragon in a medium saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Cook until the liquid has reduced by about half.
- In a small bowl, whisk the chicken broth into the cornstarch.
- Whisk the mixture into the vinegar mixture and cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the yogurt.
- Season the bearnaise sauce with salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
- Serve the steaks and cauliflower with the sauce.
