Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 steaks (6 oz each) Filet mignon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons Boursin cheese (garlic and herb flavor)
- 1 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Season both sides of the filet mignon steaks generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the steaks to the pan.
Sear the steaks for about 2 minutes per side, or until a golden-brown crust forms.
Add the unsalted butter to the pan and spoon the melted butter over the steaks to baste them. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for 5–8 minutes, or until the steaks reach your desired doneness (e.g., 130°F/54°C for medium-rare).
While the steaks are cooking, prepare the balsamic syrup: In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has reduced by half and has a syrupy consistency (approximately 10 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
Remove the steaks from the oven and transfer them to a cutting board. Allow them to rest for at least 5 minutes.
To assemble, place a tablespoon of Boursin cheese on top of each filet mignon steak. Drizzle the balsamic syrup over the steaks and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
