Filet Mignon with a Blue Cheese Sauce
Serves 2
Making a great steak is much easier than you think. The timing can be tricky because steaks come in different shapes and thickness. These are 10 ounce steaks and about two inched thick. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the steak. See below for a guide to help you cook your steak from medium rare to medium. In my opinion it shouldn't be cooked more than that. Just sayin!

Filet Mignon with Blue Cheese Sauce

A great filet every now and then really hits the spot. The key to making a perfect steak is to season it well and not over cook it. I prefer medium rare so that is how I cooked this. And of course I used a CAST IRON SKILLET to get that nice charred crust and finally finished them off with an amazing blue cheese sauce. This dinner was fairly easy to prepare. I made roasted fingerling potatoes and broccoli as a side dish as well as my sautéed mushrooms (a absolute must when serving steak).

I love a great blue cheese sauce – especially with a great steak! This is a simple recipe and can be used on any type of steak. And for those purists – you can omit the sauce if need be.
(But I do recommend trying it!)

Roasted Potatoes and Broccoli

This sheet pan recipe makes a great side for any dinner. The roasting method does add flavored compared to just steaming these veggies. One thing I love about sheet pan sides is that your can make them ahead and just heat them up right before serving (if needed).
Recipe for Sheet Pan Potatoes and Broccoli
Pre-boil potatoes for about 10 minutes.
Drain and allow to air dry.
Chop broccoli into small florets and add to baking sheet.
Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
