Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Filet mignon steaks
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 cup (crumbled) Gorgonzola cheese
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup (chopped) Sun-dried tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Remove the filet mignon steaks from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 20 minutes. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Season both sides of the filet mignon steaks with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 3

In an oven-proof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the steaks and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, until a golden-brown crust forms.

Step 4

Add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter and garlic mixture for an additional 1 minute.

Step 5

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook the steaks for 5-7 minutes for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy (135°F for medium-rare). Remove the steaks from the oven, tent them with foil, and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Step 6

While the steaks rest, prepare the gorgonzola sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and gorgonzola cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce and stir well. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm the tomatoes.

Step 8

To serve, place each filet mignon on a plate and spoon the gorgonzola sauce and sun-dried tomatoes over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
