Ingredients

1 1/2 cups balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter
6 (5 to 6-ounce) filet mignon steaks (each about 1-inch thick)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 ounces soft fresh goat cheese

Directions

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.

Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Melt the butter in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper. Cook the steaks to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to a baking sheet. Crumble the cheese over the steaks and broil just until the cheese melts, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with pepper.

Transfer the steaks to plates. Drizzle the balsamic sauce around the steaks and serve.

This was absolutely delicious! The balsamic sauce was a great contrasting flavor with the goat cheese on the steak! Can't wait to make it for my friends.

I've had this several times and it is absolutely delicious! Tonight I'm making it for dinner (thank you Giada! though we use feta cheese instead of goat cheese and I'm using bacon wrapped filet mignon. I also use the excess glaze as salad dressing. DELICIOUS!

My wife and I had six family members over for dinner and to bring in the New Year. Everyone raved about the balsamic syrup and goat cheese, though I may try Blue Cheese next time. A great way to bring in the New Year. WINNER !!!!!!
