Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 500˚. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
- Place the beef on the prepared sheet pan and pat dry with paper towels. Spread 1 tablespoon of the butter all over the beef with your hands. Sprinkle the beef all over with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Roast for exactly 25 minutes for rare (120˚) and 30 minutes for medium rare (125˚). Remove the beef from the oven, cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce. Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large (12-inch) sauté pan. Add the shallots and sauté over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, until tender but not browned. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and heat until sizzling. Add the mushrooms and sauté, stirring frequently, for 5 to 7 minutes, until lightly browned. Add the Port, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the crème fraîche and cook for one minute, until slightly thickened. Reduce the heat to low and add the Roquefort, stirring just until it melts. (If the sauce is too thick, add another splash of Port.)
- Before serving, reheat the sauce and sprinkle with the parsley. Remove the strings from the roast and slice thickly. Spoon on the sauce, sprinkle with salt and serve hot.

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.

Steps:
- To prepare spinach: Cut tough stalks from spinach. Wash leaves well. Drop leaves into boiling water. Cook for 30 seconds or until leaves are just softened. Drain and refresh in cold water. Pat dry with paper towel and set aside.
- If using frozen spinach, thaw. Squeeze out excess water before placing on pastry.
- Heat butter in large pan. Add filet of beef. Brown well on all sides. Cool. Retain pan juices.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Place pastry on a flat surface. Overlap edges by a ½ inch. Press together well to seal. Arrange spinach over pastry leaving a 2 ½ inch border. Spread or crumble cheese over spinach.

FILET OF BEEF WITH HERBED CREAM CHEESE FILLING AND BORDELAISE SAUCE
This sumptuous steak dish makes for a spectacular celebration meal. Beef tenderloin steaks are stuffed with a garlicky cream cheese mixture, seared in a hot skillet, and served with a warm, fragrant red wine sauce. The trick is chilling the stuffed steaks to firm up the cream cheese so it stays put while the steaks are cooking. All this meal needs is your favorite potato dish (simple roasted new potatoes with herbs would be my choice), a simple salad, and a lusty bottle of red wine. I suggest drinking the same style of wine that you use to make the sauce. If you are short on time, these steaks are great without the sauce too.

Steps:
- Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese with the garlic, herbs, and salt and pepper, to taste. Chill until the mixture firms up, at least 15 minutes.
- Cut an "X" into the top of each filet, almost but not quite all the way through the steak. Open the "X" with your fingers and stuff with 1 or 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture, packing the cheese well and level with the top of the steak. Chill the steaks in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, to firm up the cheese. Meanwhile, make the Bordelaise Sauce.
- To cook the steaks, preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet until very hot but not smoking. Sear the steaks, cut side down, until nicely browned, about 5 minutes. Flip the steaks carefully, using a spatula to get under the crispy cheese crust so it doesn't stick to the pan. Sear the other side for 1-2 minutes, then finish them in the oven to the desired doneness (6-8 minutes for medium-rare). To serve, spoon warm Bordelaise Sauce over the steaks.
- Place the wine, shallots, and thyme in a small saucepan, bring to a boil, then simmer until reduced to 1/4 cup. Add the stock and reduce again to about 1/4 cup. Whisk in the butter, bit by bit, until the sauce is thick and glossy. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and keep warm.
Tips:
- To ensure a tender and juicy filet mignon, it's crucial to cook it over high heat for a short period of time. This technique, known as searing, creates a flavorful crust while preserving the meat's natural juices.
- Before searing the filet mignon, pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help achieve a nice sear and prevent the meat from steaming.
- Season the filet mignon generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will enhance the meat's natural flavor.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the filet mignon is cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should reach 135 degrees Fahrenheit (57 degrees Celsius).
- Let the filet mignon rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- For the blue cheese sauce, use a high-quality blue cheese that has a sharp and pungent flavor. This will give the sauce a bold and distinctive taste.
- To make the blue cheese sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in the milk until the sauce thickens. Stir in the blue cheese and cream until well combined.
- Serve the filet mignon with the blue cheese sauce on top. You can also garnish the steak with fresh herbs, such as chives or parsley.
Conclusion:
The combination of tender filet mignon and flavorful blue cheese sauce creates a truly indulgent and satisfying dish. Whether you're cooking for a special occasion or simply want to treat yourself to a delicious meal, this recipe is sure to impress. With careful attention to detail and a few simple techniques, you can easily prepare this restaurant-quality dish at home.
