Ingredients

• 4 pieces Filet mignon steaks
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Blue cheese, crumbled
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Pat the filet mignon steaks dry with paper towels. Rub each steak with olive oil and season evenly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 3

Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the steaks and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, until a golden crust forms. Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the blue cheese, panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, fresh parsley, and softened butter until it forms a crumbly mixture.

Step 5

Divide the blue cheese mixture evenly and gently press it onto the top of each steak to form a crust.

Step 6

Transfer the skillet with the steaks to the preheated oven and cook for 6-9 minutes, depending on your preferred level of doneness (6 minutes for medium-rare, 8-9 minutes for medium).

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving. This ensures they retain their juices.

Step 8

Serve the blue cheese crusted filet mignon with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
