Ingredients

Baked Figs

  • 6 tiger figs
  • 1/2 cup saba
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1/8 tsp kosher salt
  • 4 leaves of fresh basil

Petite Filet

  • 2 8 oz petite filet shoulder steak
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper

Instructions

Baked Figs

  • Add saba, honey, butter and salt to a pan and cook on high until you arrive at a dark sweet sauce.
  • Allow to reduce just a little and then add basil, stir to combine and then remove from heat and set aside.
  • Wash and cut off tops of fig stalks and then cut figs in four from the newly cut stalk to the base of the fig, but do not cut through completely.
  • Place figs in a ovenproof dish and then pour sauce over figs.
  • Place figs in preheated oven at 400 and cook for 7-10 mins. Figs should have softened a little, but should still have kept their shape.

Petite Filet

  • Season meat with salt and pepper making sure to press in seasoning so that it doesn't fall off while grilling.
  • Grill to required temperature and then let meat rest for 5 mins.
  • Slice meat into medallions and then spoon figs and sauce on top of meat.

Notes

I cooked my petite filets to medium well, 8 minutes on either side.
