The ART of FILET

The ART of FILET

Cooking the perfect medium filet of beef is a simple yet flavorful process that is sure to impress your palate. To start, choose a high-quality cut of filet and season it generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Sear the filet in a hot cast iron skillet until a nice crust forms, then top it with crumbled Gorgonzola cheese and bake it in the oven until it reaches your desired level of doneness.



The Gorgonzola adds a rich and tangy flavor to the dish, contrasting perfectly with the tender and juicy beef. To take it up a notch, prepare a shallot Maitre d'butter by softening unsalted butter and adding finely chopped shallot. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper and roll the butter into a log using parchment paper. Seal the roll and let it firm in the refrigerator until the steak is done. When the steak is cooked, slice a round of the Maitre d’ butter and place it over the steak when it's served. The butter will melt over the beef, adding another layer of flavor to the dish.


To balance out the richness of the beef and cheese, dress a handful of micro greens with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, and season with sel gris salt and freshly cracked black pepper. The tangy vinegary and fresh greens provide a refreshing contrast to the hearty steak and cheese.
