Ingredients

• 4 pieces Filet mignon steaks
• 4 ounces Goat cheese
• 1 cup Balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 sprigs Fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking to allow it to come to room temperature. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Season both sides of the filet mignon steaks with salt and pepper evenly.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Place over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens into a syrup-like consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Preheat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet.

Step 5

Once the butter has melted and the skillet is hot, sear the filet mignon steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side, creating a golden-brown crust.

Step 6

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven (400°F/200°C) and cook the steaks for 5-7 minutes for medium-rare doneness (adjust time according to your desired level of doneness). Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy (125°F for medium-rare).

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the steaks to a plate. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and let them rest for 5-7 minutes to retain juices.

Step 8

While the steaks rest, spread 1 ounce of goat cheese onto each steak.

Step 9

Drizzle the balsamic reduction generously over the goat cheese-topped steaks.

Step 10

Optional: Garnish each steak with a sprig of fresh rosemary for an elegant presentation.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your decadent filet mignon with goat cheese and balsamic reduction!
