| 1. Pour boiling water over the dried Ancho peppers and let sit for about 20 minutes, until they are soft. | 2. Remove all the seeds, and pull the'veins' off of the inside walls of the chiles. | 3. Put the chiles in a blender with 1/2 cup of the chicken broth, the cinnamon, and the garlic. | 4. Puree until smooth. | 5. This should be rather thick, but still fluid. | 6. Add a dab more chicken broth if necessary. | 7. Preheat oven to 450°F Sear the filets in 2 tablespoons oil in a heavy, oven proof skillet, on high heat until browned. | 8. Remove from skillet and set aside. | 9. Add the remaining chicken broth to the pan (1 1/2 cups), and scrape up the brown bits from the bottom. | 10. Bring to a boil and then add the contents of the blender. | 11. Return to boil and then add the filets and put the skillet in the oven and roast for about 8 to 12 minutes until internal temperature is 170°. | 12. Remove filets from the skillet and slice into medallions. | 13. Spoon the sauce over the filets and top with the roasted sesame seeds to serve. | 14. Can also be topped with a dab of fresh cilantro, or parsley. | 15. The sauce can be thickened with a roux if it is too thin. | 16. The sauce is good as a gravy for the mashed potatoes too! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
