Filet Mignon Skewers with Balsamic Reduction
8 ingredients
Serves 8.
openrecipes
Tender filet mignon bites glazed with a balsamic reduction and served warm make a special appetizer. The meat can be cubed and the sauce prepared up to 24 hours ahead; cover and refrigerate. The skewers can be assembled an hour before broiling. Instead of wooden skewers, you can use sturdy rosemary branches, stripped of their leaves except for the tips. Select branches that are about 4 inches long.
