Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 beef tenderloin steaks, about 5 oz each
2 small shallots, chopped
2 Tbsp butter
1/4 c soy sauce
1/4 c balsamic vinegar ketchup*
* to make the ketchup, stir 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar into 1/4 cup ketchup.
1/4 tsp chili powder
1/3 c sorghum
3 Tbsp honey
2 oz brandy

Steps:

1. You will need a cast iron skillet that will hold the steaks. Preheat the oven to 350°.
2. Melt the butter over medium heat in the skillet, and sauté the shallots until softened but not browned. Remove shallots and set aside. Remove skillet from heat.
3. Stir together soy sauce, ketchup, chili powder, sorghum, honey, and brandy in a small mixing bowl. Stir in shallots.
4. Place steaks in the iron skillet and pour sauce over all. Put skillet in preheated oven, and bake for 40-45 minutes for medium-to-medium-well steaks. Test for doneness with an instant-read meat thermometer if desired, but this really should be long enough to cook them through.
