Preparation
Roast the broccolini & shallots
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Peel and halve the shallots; cut into ½ inch wedges. Remove the bottom inch of the broccolini stems (halve lengthwise if large). On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P. Roast, flipping halfway, 14 to 18 min., until tender.
Rehydrate the mushrooms
Meanwhile, in a small pot (or kettle), bring 1 cup water (double for 4 portions) to a boil. In a small heatproof bowl, combine the dried mushrooms and boiling water. Set aside to rehydrate for 5 min. Drain and roughly chop, reserving ¼ of the liquid.
Cook the filets mignons
Pat the filets mignons dry with paper towel; season with S&P. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the filets mignons* and cook, 2 to 3 min. per side, until cooked as desired. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 min. before slicing against the grain; season with S&P. Reserve the pan.
Make the toast
Meanwhile, mince the garlic. In a small bowl, microwave 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions), in 15 sec. increments, until melted. Add the rehydrated mushrooms, ½ the garlic and S&P; stir well. Halve the ciabatta lengthwise. Arrange, cut-sides up, on a second lined sheet pan and drizzle with the mushroom-garlic butter. Sprinkle with the cheese. Toast in the oven, 5 to 7 min., until golden brown and crunchy. Transfer to a cutting board and halve crosswise on an angle.
Make the sauce
Pick the thyme leaves off the stems; roughly chop the leaves. In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the tomatoes, thyme, remaining garlic and spices, and S&P. Sauté, 2 to 3 min., until the tomatoes turn bright red and begin to burst. Add the reserved mushroom liquid and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until slightly reduced. Add 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions); stir well.
Plate your dish
Divide the broccolini, shallots, filets mignons and toast between your plates. Spoon the sauce over the filets mignons. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking beef to a minimum internal temperature of 63°C.
