Description

This filet mignon recipe cooks marinated steak on the grill, topped with caramelized onions and blue cheese for the perfect flavor combination.

Ingredients

4 (6 ounce) filet mignon steaks
seasoned salt to taste
cracked black pepper to taste
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
1 tablespoon butter
2 cups onion slices
1 teaspoon white sugar
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled

Directions

1 Season steaks with seasoned salt and black pepper; arrange in a single layer in a large baking dish. Whisk olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, and rosemary together in a bowl; pour over steaks and turn to coat. Marinate for up to 30 minutes.
2 Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion slices; cook until soft, then stir in sugar. Continue cooking until onion slices are caramelized; set aside.
3 Preheat an outdoor grill for two-zone grilling, heating one side to high and one side to medium; lightly oil the grate.
4 Cook steaks on hotter side of grill for 10 minutes, turning once. When steaks are almost done, move to cooler side of grill. Top each steak with 1/4 each caramelized onions and blue cheese. Close the lid; cook until cheese is melted.
