Ingredients

For the blackberry bourbon sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon grapeseed or olive oil
  • 1/2 small red onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely diced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely diced
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 3 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup water

  • 4 200 grams filet mignon, room temperature (trimmed and 6 millimeters thick)
  • 2 tablespoons grapeseed or olive oil
  • Coarsely ground salt
  • Coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until tender, add in the garlic and jalapeno, sauté for one minute. 
  2. Add the bourbon and simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated, then stir in the vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, water and blackberries. Return to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until it thickens up (approximately ten minutes).
