Ingredients

2 tablespoons bleu cheese crumbles (recommended: Treasure Cove)
1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
2 teaspoons fines herbs (recommended: Spice Islands)
1/2 teaspoon olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon
4 (6-ounce) filet mignon steaks
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, for seasoning, plus 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup cognac
1 cup organic beef stock (recommended: Swanson)
1 teaspoon crushed garlic (recommended: Christopher)
1/4 cup frozen chopped onion (recommended: Ore-Ida)

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil; set aside.

In a small mixing bowl, combine bleu cheese, bread crumbs, herbs, and 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil; set aside.

Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a large saute pan and heat over medium-high heat. Season steaks with salt and pepper and to add pan, but do not crowd. Sear 1 to 2 minutes per side just to brown. Remove pan from heat and transfer steaks onto prepared baking sheet.

Top each steak with 1/4 of blue cheese mixture. Finish cooking steaks in preheated oven for 4 minutes for medium-rare, 6 minutes for medium, and 8 minutes for well done.

Return pan to stove and deglaze with cognac by scraping bits from bottom of pan. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce liquid by half.

Serve steaks hot with sauce.

Great
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I make a dish like this. But this one is less work and so good. Reading the reviews some one rated this dish and seems to... think it is a burger. I guess that person should not be in a kitchen. Thank you Sandra!!!Read more

Would not recommend
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Followed recipe exactly and crumbs were burnt and steak was totally rare after 6 minutes. Had to scrape off topping and... re-cook steak and just had it with some steak sauce. Very unhappy. Read more

Have made many times. The sauce is a must, it compliments the dish well; as good as any blue cheese crusted steak from any... restaurant.Read more

Beer budget option
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was unable to take full advantage of the recipe because I used an Angus sirloin tip steak, did not have cognac, used garlic... powder, and minced onion. My steak was pretty large so it took longer in the oven, but my wife and I loved the end result. The combination of the topping and juice would be great on many meats.Read more

Non-steak eater loved it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I do not normally eat steak, but when I do crave it once in a while I will order one with blue cheese. Who would have known... that making this myself was so easy? I used a top serlion steak instead of filet, so I suggest using more topping since there aren't as many juices coming from a lesser cut. Very good and will make it again and again!Read more
