Instructions:

Preparation: Start by preparing all your ingredients. Mince the garlic, grate the fresh ginger, and gather the rest of the ingredients near your cooking area.
-
Season the Steaks: Sprinkle kosher salt evenly over both sides of the beef tenderloin steaks.
-
Preheat the Pan: Place a large cast iron frypan over medium-high heat and let it warm up for a minute or two.
-
Sear the Steaks: Carefully add the seasoned steaks to the hot pan. Sear or sauté each side for about 2 minutes, or until nicely browned.
-
Remove Steaks: Once the steaks are seared to perfection, transfer them to a plate and set aside.
-
Saute Garlic: In the same pan, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 10 seconds until fragrant.
-
Deglaze with Sherry: Pour in the medium-dry sherry, and cook for about 30 seconds, making sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits.
-
Return Steaks: Return the seared steaks to the pan, allowing them to soak up the flavorful sherry-infused sauce.
-
Season with Soy Sauce and Pepper: Drizzle the low sodium soy sauce over the steaks, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper for an added kick of flavor.
-
Plate the Steaks: Carefully transfer each steak to individual serving plates, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
-
Prepare the Sauce: Remove the pan from heat, and add the butter and grated fresh ginger, stirring until the butter is melted and the sauce is well blended.
-
Serve: Spoon the savory sauce over the plated steaks, dividing it evenly among each serving.
-
Enjoy: Serve immediately and savor the delicious flavors of these pan-broiled fillets, whether you’ve chosen beef tenderloin or pork tenderloin.
Cooking Tips:
- For a leaner option, you can use pork tenderloin instead of beef tenderloin. Simply adjust the cooking time accordingly, cooking the pork fillets for about 6-8 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Ensure your pan is adequately preheated before adding the steaks to achieve a perfect sear.
- Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. You can add more garlic or ginger for a bolder flavor, or reduce the amount of soy sauce for a lighter taste.
- Serve these pan-broiled fillets with your favorite side dishes such as steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
