Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
  • 1 red onion peeled, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 ½ tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • cooking oil canola or vegetable, for frying
  • 2 Yukon Gold potato large, thinly sliced
  • 2 8- ounce filet mignon steaks
  • 1 cup arugula baby
  • 1 5.2 oz Boursin cheese Garlic & Fine Herbs variety
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the butter to a medium-size sauté pan over low heat and cook the onions with the sugar for 30-35 minutes or until very soft and caramelized. Finish by mixing in the balsamic vinegar.
  2. Keep warm.
  3. In the meantime, add enough oil to go up to 2” on a medium-size pot and heat over medium heat until it reaches 350°.
  4. Add 6-10 potato slices at a time and cook for 1-2 minutes or until brown on both sides. Cook in batches until all the potato slices have been fried. Set on a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Season the steaks on each side with salt and pepper and then add 1-2 tablespoons of cooking oil to a medium-size sauté pan over high heat.
  6. Once the oil begins to smoke lightly, add in the steaks and turn the heat down to medium-high and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare internal temperature. Set the steaks aside on a plate and rest for 2-3 minutes before thinly slicing.
  7. To Plate: Place a few pieces of arugula on a chip and then layer on with a slice of cooked steak, caramelized onion, and Boursin® Garlic & Fine Herbs Cheese. Add on optional garnish of finely sliced chives and red bell pepper.
