Filet Mignon with Cherry Sauce

Bring beef to room temperature and drizzle olive oil and garlic over the beef. Make sure it is evenly covered.

Meanwhile, in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the wine and balsamic vinegar to a boil. Continue boiling approximately 15 minutes or until mixture is reduced to ½ cup. Add cherries and sugar. Cover on low heat for 10 minutes. Keep warmed until ready to serve. (Note: Taste test your sauce, add a little salt and pepper if needed)

Heat grill to medium low heat; add Beef Filet Mignon. Cook for 7 minutes; flip and cook until internal temperature reaches 130 degrees for medium doneness; approximately 5 – 7 minutes. Take steaks off of the grill; cover and let steaks rest for 5 minutes.

Add 1 cup of rice to each plate. Top the rice with a filet and top with cherry sauce.
