Ingredients

  • 4 fillet mignon 8-ounces each 2 inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fleur de sel
  • 2 tablespoons coarsely cracked pepper
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1½ cups heavy cream
  • 2 ounces Roquefort cheese crumbled
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat for 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, pat dry the filets mignons with paper towels. Brush the filets lightly all over with the oil. Combine the fleur de sel and cracked pepper on a plate and roll the filets on all sides in the mixture, pressing lightly to help the salt and pepper adhere. The steaks should be evenly coated with the salt and the pepper.
  3. When the pan is extremely hot, add the steak and sear evenly on all sides (top, bottom, and sides) for about 2 minutes per side. You will have to turn the meat 2 times to sear all sides and about 8 minutes.
  4. Remove the pan from the heat and arrange all the filets flat in the pan. Top each with a tablespoon of butter, and then place the pan in the oven. Cook the filets for 6 to 8 minutes for medium rare. Remove the steaks to a platter, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
  5. Serve with Roquefort chives sauce.
