UNION SQUARE CAFE'S MARINATED FILET MIGNON OF TUNA

Steps:

• Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl large enough to hold the tuna. Place the tuna steaks in the marinade and refrigerate for 3 hours, turning every hour.
• Drain the tuna thirty minutes before cooking and bring to room temperature.
• Preheat a grill, grill pan or outdoor barbecue to very hot.
• Brush the tuna with olive oil. Grill the steaks for 1 to 2 minutes on each of their six sides. The outside of the tuna should be nicely charred, and the center should be barely warm and quite rare. Cooked this way, the tuna will remain moist and flavorful.
• Top each steak with pickled ginger and serve.

MARINATED FILET MIGNON WITH FLAVORED BUTTER

Steps:

• Place filets in a re-sealable plastic bag.
• Combine the marinade ingredients in a glass bowl or measuring cup.
• Pour the marinade over the filets, seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Thoroughly combine the butter, worcestershire sauce and mustard. Set aside until the steaks are cooked.
• Remove the filets to a warm platter. Place about a teaspoon of flavored butter on top of each filet.

MARTINI-MARINATED STEAK (FILET MIGNON)

Steps:

• Rub both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper.
• Combine the rest of the ingredients, add the steaks and marinate in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes. (Don't let it marinate for too long or the alcohol will break down the meat too much.)
• Remove the steaks from the marinade and let them sit for 10 minutes or so to come to room temperature. Discard the marinade.
• Heat the grill to medium-high.
• Grill the steaks, covered, for 3 or 4 minutes each side for medium-rare. Adjust this cooking time depending on the cut of meat you are using.
• Remove the steaks, cover them with foil and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

SMOTHERED FILET MIGNON

Steps:

• Season steaks with seasoned salt and black pepper, and arrange in a single layer in a large baking dish. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, and rosemary. Pour mixture over filets, and turn to coat. Marinate for up to 30 minutes.
• While you are marinating the meat, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onion slices in butter until soft, then stir in sugar. Continue cooking until onions are caramelized. Set aside.
• Preheat grill for high heat on one side, and medium heat on the other side.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Place steaks on the hot side of the grill, and cook for 10 minutes, turning once. When the steaks are almost done, move to the cooler side of the grill. Top each filet with a quarter of the caramelized onions and blue cheese. Close the lid, and continue cooking until the cheese is melted.
