A filet mignon is typically what people consider the most tender cut of steak. And I agree.
Here’s a wonderful recipe to dress up that silky smooth filet with amazingly decadent blue cheese flan.
Magnifico!
Grilled Filet Mignon with Blue Cheese Flan
(Serves four)
4 6oz. Filet Mignon
1 Cup Heavy Cream
4 oz. Blue Cheese
1 Egg + 2 yolks
Salt and Pepper
Bring the cream to a boil and pour into a blender on top of the blue cheese. With the blender running, add the egg and yolks and mix until smooth. Season to taste. Pour the mixture evenly into four 4 oz. oven safe ramekins that have been oil or sprayed with pan spray on the inside and bake in a water bath at 350 degrees for twenty minutes or until set. Remove from oven and water bath, the flan can either be served warm or cold, they can also be cooked ahead of time and reheated. To plate, run a paring knife between the flan and the ramekin and turn out onto a plate. If it sticks, tap the edge of the ramekin on the plate gently until it releases.
Season the Filet on both sides with salt and pepper and grill to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium.

You can make your own steak butters at home if you know what to add. They are simply softened butter with things added to it and then refrigerated to harden it back up. Butter done this way is called a compound butter.
The blue cheese flan sounds divine! I normally am not a blue cheese eater but this may convert me.

Thanks, Julia! I may have to try doing the compound butter at home. But sometimes I like to leave it to the professionals. Okay, really, I’m lazy. That’s it. I’m lazy.
