We had some friends over last night to watch the Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island, Vermont primaries...and we made a killer dinner in the meantime. It was a delightful departure from a savory steak sauce - and the best part - it's easy!
Filets Mignon with Goat Cheese and Balsamic Reduction
Serves: 4
Prep time: 25 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
You'll need:
- 4 filets mignon, 6 oz. or so apiece (about an inch thick)
- 3 oz. goat cheese
- 1 1/2 C. balsamic vinegar
- 3 T. sugar
- 2 T. butter (to rub the steaks with)
- Salt & Pepper
1.) Combine balsamic vinegar and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, until the vinegar has reduced to 1/2 C. or less.
2) Rub the steaks with butter on either side, and season with salt and pepper.
3) Broil the steaks for 3 minutes per side (medium rare) or 5 minutes per side (medium well).
4) Top the steaks with crumbled goat cheese, and put them back under the broiler for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese just begins to brown.
5) Serve the goat-cheese topped steaks with a healthy drizzle of the balsamic reduction on top.
Try this with:
Garlicky green beans sauteed with balsamic vinegar
Roasted potatoes with garlic and rosemary
Simple greens with dijon vinaigrette
