Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon butter
½ cup minced white onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
¾ cup low-sodium beef broth
½ cup port wine
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 filet mignon steaks (1 1/2 inch thick)
¾ cup crumbled blue cheese
¼ cup panko bread crumbs

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.

Ina Garten's filet of beef is ideal for the holidays: It's foolproof - and guaranteed to impress!

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 pounds beef tenderloin, trimmed and tied
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature, divided
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup chopped shallots (3 large)
14 ounces mushrooms, such as cremini and/or shiitakes, stems discarded and caps sliced 1/4 inch thick
1/2 cup ruby Port wine, such as Sandeman
3/4 cup crème fraîche
3 ounces Roquefort or other strong blue cheese, crumbled
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

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.

1 T chopped fresh thyme
3/4 cup low-sodium beef broth
1/2 cup port wine
4 filet mignon steaks (1.5" thick)
3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs

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*. 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 min for medium rare-with an internal temp of 145*F. You may adjust this time to allow 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 tipping is browned and bubbly... 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven, and let stand for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve with warmed port wine sauce.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, ensure all your ingredients and equipment are prepped and ready to use. This will help streamline the cooking process and prevent any scrambling.
  • Choose High-Quality Filet Mignon: Opt for high-quality, thick-cut filet mignon steaks to ensure tenderness and flavor. Look for steaks that are at least 1 inch thick.
  • Sear the Steaks Perfectly: To achieve a perfect sear, heat your skillet or grill over high heat. Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they develop a nice crust. This will help lock in the juices and flavor.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure the steaks are cooked to your desired doneness, use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the steak, making sure not to touch any bone. Cook the steaks until they reach an internal temperature of 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, or 145°F for medium.
  • Rest the Steaks: Once the steaks are cooked, remove them from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bite.
  • Make the Port Wine Sauce Ahead of Time: The port wine sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Simply reheat the sauce over low heat before serving.

Conclusion:

The Blue Cheese Crusted Filet Mignon with Port Wine Sauce is an elegant and flavorful dish perfect for special occasions or a romantic dinner. The combination of tender filet mignon, savory blue cheese crust, and rich port wine sauce creates a symphony of flavors that will impress your taste buds.
