Ruths Chris Steak House Blue Cheese Crust Recipes

FILET MIGNON ENCRUSTED WITH BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350* degrees. Preheat oil in cast iron skillet or one without non-stick coating on HIGH. Season your steaks just before adding them to skillet.
• 2. When skillet is hot, add seasoned steaks, cook for 3 minutes on one side. (set timer!) Turn over after 3 minutes, add blue cheese crumbles. (They will look very well done at this point, but NO worries! ;)
• 3. Place steaks (still in the skillet) into preheated 350* oven. Roast for 12-13 minutes for medium rare steaks or 13-15 minutes for medium done steaks. Filet Mignon is best with a pink center for a juicy, tender steak!
• 4. When steaks are done, remove from oven and let them REST for about 3 minutes before plating them. Meanwhile, heat your dinner plates in the 350* oven. Melt 2-4 Tbsp of real butter in the microwave in a small glass measuring cup or bowl. Pour on top of steaks (with or without blue cheese) just before serving. Pairs well with a Cabernet or Zinfandel. Enjoy!

Pack blue cheese mixture on less cooked side of meat and put under preheated broiler (about 3-4 inches away) and cook 2-3 minutes or until blue cheese topping starts to brown up and bubble. Remove steak from oven, tent with foil and let rest 5 minutes.
