Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings, butter 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 teaspoons coarse grey sea salt
6 ounces Roquefort or Stilton cheese, cut into chunks
4 to 6 ounces beef fillets, good quality and at least 2-inches high
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • In a food processor, pulse butter until whipped, and add salt and cheese. Pulse again just until incorporated. Dollop the compound butter towards 1 side of a piece of natural parchment paper or plastic wrap. Roll into a log, twisting opposite ways on both ends to create a tightly wrapped log of butter. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set. (Can be stored up to 1 week in the refrigerator and up to 1 month in the freezer.) This could be made into 2 logs, as you will only need half this recipe for the steaks.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Once butter log is set, slice 1/2 the whole log into 1/4-inch disks. Cut a slit in the side of each fillet, and stuff with a butter disk. Tie each fillet with kitchen twine to keep it shape and sprinkle pepper each side.
  • Add the olive oil to a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear each fillet until brown on both sides, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Move skillet into the preheated oven to cook to desired doneness. Put another disk of the compound butter on top of each fillet just about 3 minutes before removing from oven, to just begin to melt but not melted completely. Remove from the oven and place on serving plates. Eat and enjoy!

I'm not a fan of chicken, but I loved this recipe! The blue cheese filling was so flavorful and the bacon added a nice crispy texture.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I would recommend making a few changes. For example, I would use a different type of cheese and add some vegetables to the filling.

The chicken was a bit dry. I think I overcooked it.

This dish is a bit bland. I think it needs more seasoning.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to use a different type of cheese, maybe a cheddar or mozzarella.

The blue cheese filling was a bit too strong for my taste, but everything else about this recipe was great. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the bacon added a nice smoky flavor.

I'm not a big fan of blue cheese, but this recipe changed my mind. The flavors all work so well together. I especially loved the crispy bacon on top.

Tried this recipe last night. It was a hit! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the blue cheese filling was rich and creamy. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables and it was a perfect meal.

OMG! This recipe is a game-changer! The combination of the juicy chicken, creamy blue cheese, and crispy bacon is simply heavenly. My family devoured it in minutes. Will definitely be making this again and again.
