Tender Filet Mignon Served with Creamy Blue Cheese Butter

Recipe:: Filet Mignon Doused in Blue Cheese Butter

Yield: 2 servingsDifficulty: EasyTotal: 30 minsActive: 20 mins

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/4 stick), softened
• 2 tablespoons creamy blue cheese (e.g., Gorgonzola dolce), crumbled
• 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus more for garnish
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• 2 filet mignon steaks (6 to 8 ounces each and about 1 1/2 inches thick)
• Olive oil

Instructions

1. Remove the steaks from the fridge and leave them at room temperature for about 30 minutes ahead of cooking.
2. Meanwhile, mix the butter, blue cheese, and parsley in a bowl using a fork. Season it with salt and pepper. Set it aside.
3. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Pat the filets dry with paper towels and season with plenty of salt and pepper. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat for about 5 minutes.
4. Pour some olive oil in the hot skillet, add the steaks, and sear for around 4 minutes on one side. Turn over and sear for another 2 minutes, then transfer to the oven.
5. Roast the filets until cooked to your liking, approximately 5 minutes depending on thickness (rare = internal temp of 120°F; medium-rare = 125°F). Transfer the steaks to a platter, cover them with aluminum foil, and let them rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
6. Serve each filet with a dollop of the blue cheese butter on top.

Tip: Experiment with other blue cheeses or add other cheeses like cheddar for a more creamy butter. Enjoy this amazing blend of refined elegance and bold flavors!
