Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Filet mignon (beef tenderloin steaks)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Blue cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
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 them generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt, then stir in the minced garlic. Cook the garlic for about 30 seconds, being careful not to let it burn.
Sear the steaks in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side, until a golden-brown crust forms.
Transfer the skillet with the steaks to the preheated oven. Roast for 5-7 minutes for medium-rare, 7-10 minutes for medium, or until the desired internal temperature is reached (135°F/57°C for medium-rare).
While the steaks cook, prepare the blue cheese sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and crumbled blue cheese. Cook, stirring frequently, until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy and smooth (about 5 minutes).
Once the steaks are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the steaks with a generous drizzle of blue cheese sauce on top. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and pair with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
