Ingredients

5 beef filets mignon

½ stick of butter

5 slices bread

FOR SAUCE:

1 Tablespoon minced onion*

½ teaspoon dried tarragon

1 teaspoon fresh parsley

1 pinch salt

1 teaspoon ground pepper

1 Tablespoon wine vinegar

3 egg yolks

½ pound butter, melted

Directions

PREPARATION AND COOKING: In a frying pan heat half of the butter and 1 Tablespoon peanut oil together. Add filets and cook 10 minutes on each side. Remove and keep warm in oven. Cut crusts off bread. Melt together 1 Tablespoon peanut oil and rest of butter in pan; brown bread in it on both sides.
