Grilled Filet Mignon with Blue Cheese Butter
Description
Grill filet mignon steaks to medium-rare perfection and top them with a blue cheese-thyme compound butter for a restaurant-quality main dish with simple ingredients.
Ingredients
•
1/2 cup butter, softened
•
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
•
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
•
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
•
4 (4 ounce) filet mignon steaks
•
2 teaspoons canola oil, or as needed
Directions
1
Mash butter, blue cheese, and thyme together in a small bowl until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
3
Brush steaks with oil and season with salt and pepper.
4
Cook steaks on the preheated grill until firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).
5
Transfer steaks to a platter and top with some of the butter mixture. Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
