Ingredients

• 4 pieces filet mignon steaks
• 120 grams Stilton cheese
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, cut a small pocket into the center of each filet mignon steak, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 3

Stuff approximately 30 grams of Stilton cheese into each pocket, pressing it in gently to fill the cavity.

Step 4

Season the outside of the steaks with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.

Step 5

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and butter to the pan and allow the butter to melt and become foamy.

Step 6

Once the skillet is hot, add the stuffed steaks and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme to the skillet and spoon the melted butter over the steaks to baste them.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes for medium-rare doneness, or adjust according to your desired level of doneness.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribe.

Step 10

Serve with your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
