filet mignon is my favorite cut of beef, and i travel to philadelphia's italian market to a butcher who knows how to cut it right. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups balsamic vinegar |
3 tablespoons sugar |
2 tablespoons butter |
6 (5 ounce) filet mignon steaks (each about 1-inch thick) |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
2 ounces soft fresh goat cheese |
Directions:
1. Boil the balsamic vinegar and sugar in a heavy small saucepan over medium-high heat until reduced to 1/3 cup, stirring occasionally, about 18 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, preheat the broiler.
3. Melt the butter in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper.
5. Cook the steaks to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
6. Transfer the steaks to a baking sheet.
7. Crumble the cheese over the steaks and broil just until the cheese melts, about 1 minute.
8. Sprinkle with pepper.
9. Transfer the steaks to plates. Drizzle the balsamic sauce around the steaks and serve.
