Ingredients
  • 4 Filet Mignons (10 oz. each)
  • 12 ounce Roquefort cheese, crumbled
  • 12 Shitake Mushrooms
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. 2
    Using a paring knife, cut a 1-inch slit into the side of each filet mignon and carefully carve out a pocket inside without piercing through the other side.
  3. 3
    Finely chop the shiitake mushrooms if not already sliced.
  4. 4
    Stuff each filet pocket with alternating layers of crumbled Roquefort cheese and mushrooms, ending with a layer of mushrooms on top.
  5. 5
    Press the slit closed to seal the filling inside the steak.
  6. 6
    Add clarified butter to the hot skillet until it is melted and shimmering.
  7. 7
    Sear the stuffed filets for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
  8. 8
    While the steaks cook, prepare the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine red wine and diced shallots.
  9. 9
    Simmer the wine mixture over medium-high heat for 4 to 6 minutes, reducing it until only 3 tablespoons of liquid remain.
  10. 10
    Add veal stock to the saucepan and continue cooking for 15 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by one-quarter.
  11. 11
    Remove the saucepan from heat. While whisking constantly, add sweet butter one piece at a time until fully emulsified and glossy.
  12. 12
    Season the sauce with salt to taste and stir to combine.
  13. 13
    Pour the red wine sauce over the seared filets and serve immediately.

Note

Let the filets rest for 5 minutes after searing before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.

If veal stock is unavailable, you can substitute with high-quality beef broth, though the flavor will be slightly less nuanced.

Ensure the steak pockets are sealed well; if the filling leaks, you can secure them with toothpicks, but remove before serving.

For a richer sauce, ensure the butter is cold when whisking it in to create a stable emulsion.

Roquefort is a strong cheese; if you prefer a milder flavor, you can substitute with Gorgonzola or blue cheese crumbles.
