Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Filet mignon steaks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the filet mignon steaks dry with paper towels. Rub each steak with olive oil and season evenly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the steaks and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, until a golden crust forms. Remove the skillet from heat.
In a small bowl, mix together the blue cheese, panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, fresh parsley, and softened butter until it forms a crumbly mixture.
Divide the blue cheese mixture evenly and gently press it onto the top of each steak to form a crust.
Transfer the skillet with the steaks to the preheated oven and cook for 6-9 minutes, depending on your preferred level of doneness (6 minutes for medium-rare, 8-9 minutes for medium).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving. This ensures they retain their juices.
Serve the blue cheese crusted filet mignon with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
