Filet Mignon with Rich Balsamic Glaze

 "This is an elegant and quick romantic dinner for two. Wonderful served with steamed asparagus and baby    red potatoes."

 Ingredients 
Original recipe makes 2 servings

•  2 (4 ounce) filet mignon steaks 
•  1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper to taste
•  salt to taste
•  1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 
•  1/4 cup dry red wine 

Directions

1. Sprinkle freshly ground pepper over both sides of each steak, and sprinkle with salt to taste. 
2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place steaks in hot pan, and cook for 1 minute on each side, or until browned. Reduce heat to medium-low, and add balsamic vinegar and red wine. Cover, and cook for 4 minutes on each side, basting with sauce when you turn the meat over.
3. Remove steaks to two warmed plates, spoon one tablespoon of glaze over each, and serve immediately.
