Default RE: Backstrap Medallions with Blue cheese and mushrooms

Here is one of our favorites. Again sub the beef for venision. This works well with strip steaks too. ENJOY...I love to cook!

Filet Mignon Belmont House


1 Tablespoon butter
2 6-oz filtet mignon steaks (about 1 inch thick)
2/3 cup beef broth
¼ cup brandy
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary or ½ teaspoon dried
½ cup crumbled blue cheese

Melt butter in a heavy medium skillet over medium high heat. Season steaks with salt and pepper. Add steaks to skillet and sauté until cooked to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer steaks to plate. Add broth, brandy and rosemary to skillet and boil until sauce is reduced to 1/3 cup, scraping up brown bits, about 5 minutes. Spoon sauce over steaks, add blue cheese. As an option, place plates under broiler until blue cheese melts, about 3 minutes.
