Ingredients
- Head roast of tenderloin, approximately 1 to 1 1/2 pounds
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Olive oil
- 3 ounces blue cheese
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Slice roast open lengthwise in middle to create a pocket, being careful to not slice all the way through.
Salt and pepper the meat on all sides.
Heat a grill pan over high heat and brush roast with olive oil. Sear the roast on all sides. Remove from the heat, tent with foil and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
After the meat has rested, stuff pocket with the blue cheese. Tie the whole thing together with kitchen string.

Remove from the oven, wrap in aluminum foil and allow to rest 15 minutes before serving.

By far, the best steak I have ever EVER had. Better than any steakhouse I have been to. WOW. Didn't hurt that I used a very nice cut of meat and a very expensive Blue Cheese, but this was beyond amazing. BEYOND. Alton, you have impressed me time and time again, but this takes things to a whole new level.
TIP: Don't be skimpy with the cheese. I played it safe and while it was perfection, it would not have hurt had I really packed the cheese in there, plus it is fun when it sort of melts out and sizzles on the pan. Gives the whole house a delicious smell!

I made this yesterday with Emirils truffel potatoes for my 28th annerversery. I went with a pervious suggestion to saute mushroom and garlic to add to the stuffing and the out come was fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!. We just reheated over a quick pan fry and it as good as the first serving. I did not use tenderloin as it was cost negative for us but I did use tri-tip roast and it turned out great.
