FILET OF BEEF WITH MUSHROOMS AND BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500˚. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
• Place the beef on the prepared sheet pan and pat dry with paper towels. Spread 1 tablespoon of the butter all over the beef with your hands.

Remove the beef from the oven, cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 20 minutes.

Add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and heat until sizzling. Add the mushrooms and sauté, stirring frequently, for 5 to 7 minutes, until lightly browned. Add the Port, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the crème fraîche and cook for one minute, until slightly thickened. Reduce the heat to low and add the Roquefort, stirring just until it melts. (If the sauce is too thick, add another splash of Port.)

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and thyme. Cook, stirring constantly, until onion is tender. Stir in the beef broth, scraping any onion bits from the bottom of the pan, then stir in the port wine. Bring to a boil, and cook until the mixture has reduced to about 1/2 cup. Set aside. This may also be made ahead of time, and reheated.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Heat oil in a cast-iron or other oven-safe skillet over high heat. Sear steaks quickly on both sides until brown, then place the whole pan into the oven.
• Roast steaks in the oven for about 15 minutes for medium rare - with an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). You may adjust this time to allow the steaks to finish just below your desired degree of doneness if medium is not what you prefer. Remove from the oven, and place on a baking sheet. Stir together the panko crumbs and blue cheese. Top each steak with a layer of this mixture.
• Preheat the oven's broiler. Place steaks under the preheated broiler until the cheese topping is browned and bubbly. 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven, and let stand for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve with warm port wine sauce.

FILET OF BEEF WITH BLUE CHEESE IN PASTRY

• To prepare spinach: Cut tough stalks from spinach. Wash leaves well. Drop leaves into boiling water. Cook for 30 seconds or until leaves are just softened. Drain and refresh in cold water. Pat dry with paper towel and set aside.
• If using frozen spinach, thaw. Squeeze out excess water before placing on pastry.
• Heat butter in large pan. Add filet of beef. Brown well on all sides. Cool. Retain pan juices.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Place pastry on a flat surface. Overlap edges by a ½ inch. Press together well to seal. Arrange spinach over pastry leaving a 2 ½ inch border. Spread or crumble cheese over spinach. Place beef in centre of pastry and season - be sparing with the salt as the cheese will impart its own saltiness. Fold in narrow end of pastry. Fold remaining pastry over to enclose beef. Turn seam to underside and place on a lightly greased baking pan. Brush top with egg.

FILET OF BEEF WITH HERBED CREAM CHEESE FILLING AND BORDELAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese with the garlic, herbs, and salt and pepper, to taste. Chill until the mixture firms up, at least 15 minutes.
• Cut an "X" into the top of each filet, almost but not quite all the way through the steak. Open the "X" with your fingers and stuff with 1 or 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture, packing the cheese well and level with the top of the steak. Chill the steaks in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, to firm up the cheese. Meanwhile, make the Bordelaise Sauce.
• To cook the steaks, preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet until very hot but not smoking. Sear the steaks, cut side down, until nicely browned, about 5 minutes. Flip the steaks carefully, using a spatula to get under the crispy cheese crust so it doesn't stick to the pan. Sear the other side for 1-2 minutes, then finish them in the oven to the desired doneness (6-8 minutes for medium-rare). To serve, spoon warm Bordelaise Sauce over the steaks.
• Place the wine, shallots, and thyme in a small saucepan, bring to a boil, then simmer until reduced to 1/4 cup. Add the stock and reduce again to about 1/4 cup. Whisk in the butter, bit by bit, until the sauce is thick and glossy. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and keep warm.
