Servings: 4
FAGE Used: FAGE Total 2%

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup FAGE Total 2%
  • 2 shallots, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup brandy
  • 2 cup beef or chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoon sweet paprika, plus more for garnish
  • 4 gherkin pickles, finely diced
  • 1/2 pound noodles, cooked and drained
  • 3 tablespoon chopped fresh flat parsley leaves, plus more for garnish
  • 12 ounce button mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 1 pinch Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 fillet mignon steaks (8 ounces each)
  • 3 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoon flour

Preparation Directions:

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large high sided sauté pan over high heat until it begins to shimmer. Season the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked to medium-rare doneness, 3 ½ - 4 minutes per side. Remove the steaks to a large plate, and tent with foil.
  2. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the mushrooms and cook until golden brown and liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes. Add the shallot and garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the brandy. Return the pan to the heat and cook until the brandy is completely reduced. Add the broth and paprika, bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in ¼ cup of the yogurt, pickles and parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the noodles to the sauce and toss to coat.
  4. Divide the noodles among four plates and top with a fillet. Top each fillet with the remaining yogurt (1 tablespoon per fillet) and sprinkle with more paprika and chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
