Tournedos Con Salsa Chipotle (Filet Mignon in Chipotle Sauce)

Submitted by Chef Sean 2

"This recipe is a take off on Tournedos Bearnaise. Although I have included a chipotle salsa, any other chipotle sauce may be substituted. You can use chipotles in adobo sauce or dried chipotles. As in any recipe calling for any type of chile, feel free to substitute. From "Too Many Chiles!" by Dave DeWitt, Nancy and Jeff Gerlach."
