Ingredients:

Serving

4 (4-oz.) beef tenderloin fillets (about 1 inch thick )
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
2 tbsp chopped fresh or frozen chives
olive oil cooking spray

Directions:

Sprinkle fillets evenly with salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature.
Meanwhile, combine butter, blue cheese, and chives a small bowl; stir using a wooden spoon until blended. Cover and chill.
Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Pat fillets dry with paper towels, and coat both sides with cooking spray. Add fillets to pan; cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. For grown-up servings, top 2 fillets with 1 Tbsp. each of Blue Cheese Butter. For plain servings, serve fillets without Blue Cheese Butter.
Leftover Note: Christine H., of Danville, CA, suggests spooning the leftover Blue Cheese Butter into 1 Tbsp. portions in a single layer on a large plate. Freeze until firm; then transfer to an airtight container, and freeze up to 1 month. Use the butter again to prepare this recipe or to season your favorite steamed vegetables.
