One of my favorite foods. I've had this at my good friend's house with baked potatoes, asparagus and fresh baked bread. A meal to die for! Delicious! Update -09/15/2009: Since some reviewers have had trouble with the balsamic syrup - I suggest that you don't make the syrup and make a slight glaze with the balsamic vinegar and serve it with the filet mignon and the Boursin cheese & since I can't change the title of the recipe I suggest you do that. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups balsamic vinegar |
3 tablespoons sugar |
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine |
2 teaspoons garlic, sliced |
6 (5 -6 ounce) filet mignon steaks (1-inch thick) |
salt, to taste |
fresh ground black pepper, to taste |
3 ounces softened boursin herb cheese spread |
fresh parsley, garnish (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler.
2. Boil vinegar and sugar in a heavy small saucepan over medium-high heat until reduced to 1/3 cup, stirring, occasionally, about 18 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, melt the butter or margarine in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat and infuse the butter with garlic, about 1 minute.
4. Sprinkle steaks with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
5. Remove garlic from pan.
6. Cook steaks to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side, for medium rare.
7. Transfer the steaks to a baking sheet.
8. Crumble the cheese over the steaks and broil just until the cheese melts, about 1 minute.
9. Sprinkle again with pepper.
10. Transfer steaks to plates.
11. Drizzle the balsamic sauce around the steaks, garnish with parsley, and serve.
12. Enjoy!
