Steps:
- 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.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality filet mignon steaks: Look for steaks that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling.
- Don't overcook the steaks: Filet mignon is a tender cut of meat, so it's important to cook it quickly over high heat. Overcooking will make the steak tough and dry.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steaks are cooked to your desired doneness: For medium-rare, cook the steaks to an internal temperature of 135°F. For medium, cook to 145°F. For medium-well, cook to 155°F.
- Let the steaks rest before serving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Serve the steaks with your favorite sides: Some popular options include mashed potatoes, asparagus, and a red wine sauce.
