Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Filet mignon steaks
- 4 ounces Goat cheese
- 1 cup Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 sprigs Fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking to allow it to come to room temperature. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Season both sides of the filet mignon steaks with salt and pepper evenly.
In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Place over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens into a syrup-like consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet.
Once the butter has melted and the skillet is hot, sear the filet mignon steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side, creating a golden-brown crust.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven (400°F/200°C) and cook the steaks for 5-7 minutes for medium-rare doneness (adjust time according to your desired level of doneness). Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy (125°F for medium-rare).
Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the steaks to a plate. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and let them rest for 5-7 minutes to retain juices.
While the steaks rest, spread 1 ounce of goat cheese onto each steak.
Drizzle the balsamic reduction generously over the goat cheese-topped steaks.
Optional: Garnish each steak with a sprig of fresh rosemary for an elegant presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy your decadent filet mignon with goat cheese and balsamic reduction!
