Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces beef fillets (around 6-8 oz each)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium shallot (finely minced)
- 2 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 5 ounces Stilton cheese (crumbled)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Season both sides of the beef fillets with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the beef fillets and sear for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is achieved. Remove the steaks from the pan, tent with foil, and let rest.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced shallot and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Add the crumbled Stilton cheese to the skillet, stirring until it melts completely into the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Return the beef fillets to the skillet briefly to warm through. Spoon the sauce generously over the steaks.
Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Pair with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
