Serves 4.
openrecipes
These filets are easy enough to prepare for a weeknight dinner and impressive enough for a last-minute gathering with friends. You can make the herb-shallot butter in advance and refrigerate; bring to room temperature before serving. Round out the meal with fingerling potatoes and a corn, tomato and arugula salad (see related recipes at left).
