This is a wonderful recipe for New Year's, even for a dinner party. I normally like my steak without anything on it. Let's face it, if it is cooked correct, it doesn't need a thing to enhance flavor BUT this recipe is a great change. It is wonderful. Have a wonderful New Year's! Happy 2010! Enjoy!
Filet Mignon with Balsamic Syrup and Goat Cheese
This is awesome and is elegant enough to be served at a dinner party.
6 Servings
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
Instructions
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.
