Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces filet mignon steaks
- 120 grams Stilton cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Using a sharp knife, cut a small pocket into the center of each filet mignon steak, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Stuff approximately 30 grams of Stilton cheese into each pocket, pressing it in gently to fill the cavity.
Season the outside of the steaks with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and butter to the pan and allow the butter to melt and become foamy.
Once the skillet is hot, add the stuffed steaks and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust.
Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme to the skillet and spoon the melted butter over the steaks to baste them.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes for medium-rare doneness, or adjust according to your desired level of doneness.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribe.
Serve with your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
