Sexy Recipe ;
Black Pepper Gorgonzola Filet Mignon with Cabernet Sautéed Mushrooms (for 2)
Ingredients…
This step is important, so take the steaks out of the refrigerator and unwrap about 20 minutes before cooking.
Sprinkle the steaks with a little salt.
Coarsely crack the black pepper in a spice mill or using a rolling pin or meat mallet.
Rub the steaks with just a little olive oil and then roll the filets in the cracked pepper, coating all sides.
In a medium heavy, ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it’s almost smoking.
Add the two strips of bacon and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
Carefully place the steaks in the pan and cook without moving until well seared and crusty on the first side, about 3-4 minutes.
Turn the steaks over, and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes for medium-rare.
Remove the steaks and bacon, and transfer to a plate.
Place half the cheese on each steak with a strip of the cooked bacon set over the cheese.
Cover the steaks loosely with a piece of aluminum foil.
Turn the heat to high and add the garlic, shallot and mushrooms to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes.
Add the wine, a pinch of salt and cook another 2-3 minutes.
Add the butter and combine thoroughly.
Uncover and plate the steaks and surround with the sautéd mushrooms. Enjoy…
