To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- Salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved
- 1 tablespoon butter

To start, season the filet mignon with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the filet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove the filet from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the red wine and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Add the cherries and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the cherries have softened. Stir in the butter until it has melted and the sauce is smooth.
To serve, place the filet on a plate and spoon the cherry reduction over the top. Garnish with additional fresh cherries, if desired.
