Beef Filet With Blue Cheese Sauce Recipes

FILET OF BEEF WITH MUSHROOMS AND BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500˚. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
• Place the beef on the prepared sheet pan and pat dry with paper towels. Spread 1 tablespoon of the butter all over the beef with your hands. Sprinkle the beef all over with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Roast for exactly 25 minutes for rare (120˚) and 30 minutes for medium rare (125˚). Remove the beef from the oven, cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large (12-inch) sauté pan. Add the shallots and sauté over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, until tender but not browned. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and heat until sizzling. Add the mushrooms and sauté, stirring frequently, for 5 to 7 minutes, until lightly browned. Add the Port, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the crème fraîche and cook for one minute, until slightly thickened. Reduce the heat to low and add the Roquefort, stirring just until it melts. (If the sauce is too thick, add another splash of Port.)
• Before serving, reheat the sauce and sprinkle with the parsley. Remove the strings from the roast and slice thickly. Spoon on the sauce, sprinkle with salt and serve hot.

BLUE CHEESE CRUSTED FILET MIGNON WITH PORT WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and thyme. Cook, stirring constantly, until onion is tender. Stir in the beef broth, scraping any onion bits from the bottom of the pan, then stir in the port wine. Bring to a boil, and cook until the mixture has reduced to about 1/2 cup. Set aside. This may also be made ahead of time, and reheated.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Heat oil in a cast-iron or other oven-safe skillet over high heat. Sear steaks quickly on both sides until brown, then place the whole pan into the oven.
• Roast steaks in the oven for about 15 minutes for medium rare - with an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). You may adjust this time to allow the steaks to finish just below your desired degree of doneness if medium is not what you prefer. Remove from the oven, and place on a baking sheet. Stir together the panko crumbs and blue cheese. Top each steak with a layer of this mixture.
• Preheat the oven's broiler. Place steaks under the preheated broiler until the cheese topping is browned and bubbly. 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven, and let stand for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve with warm port wine sauce.

FILET OF BEEF WITH BLUE CHEESE, ROSEMARY & PINE NUT SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium, nonreactive skillet, heat the oil over high heat. When the oil is hot, sear the meat on both sides until well browned, about 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer the filets to a platter and tent them with foil to keep warm.
• Pour the excess oil out of the pan, making sure to hold back the cooked-on juices and browned bits. Reduce the heat to medium high and add the butter. When the butter is melted, add the shallots, sautéing until softened, about 1 minute. Add the wine and cook at a vigorous simmer, scraping up the browned bits with a wooden spoon and reducing until the liquid is very syrupy. Add the broth and rosemary; continue boiling until the liquid is reduced by half. Remove from the heat.
• Stir in the blue cheese, along with any juices that have run off the filets; the cheese should melt just slightly. Spoon the sauce over the filets, garnish with the chopped pine nuts, and serve.
