Steps:
- In a food processor, pulse butter until whipped, and add salt and cheese. Pulse again just until incorporated. Dollop the compound butter towards 1 side of a piece of natural parchment paper or plastic wrap. Roll into a log, twisting opposite ways on both ends to create a tightly wrapped log of butter. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set. (Can be stored up to 1 week in the refrigerator and up to 1 month in the freezer.) This could be made into 2 logs, as you will only need half this recipe for the steaks.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Once butter log is set, slice 1/2 the whole log into 1/4-inch disks. Cut a slit in the side of each fillet, and stuff with a butter disk. Tie each fillet with kitchen twine to keep it shape and sprinkle pepper each side.
- Add the olive oil to a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear each fillet until brown on both sides, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Move skillet into the preheated oven to cook to desired doneness. Put another disk of the compound butter on top of each fillet just about 3 minutes before removing from oven, to just begin to melt but not melted completely. Remove from the oven and place on serving plates. Eat and enjoy!

BEEF TENDERLOIN STUFFED WITH BLUE CHEESE RECIPE

Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- *Mix Together the Blue cheese, Horseradish, Parsley/basil, Olive Oil, Tomatoes and add salt and Pepper to taste. Set aside. Take each medallion and make a small cut on one of the side. With a small butter knife, move the knife around in side the beef to make a small pocket for the filling, trying not to cut holes in the other sides. Once pocket in made, stuff the pieces with the cheese filling until the piece starts to bulge. **Have a couple pieces of scrap pieces of beef to cover the hole with, so the cheese doesn't melt out!! Rub a small amount of oil on the Medallion before placing on the grill. Also Sprinkle with a little small and pepper. Be sure to grill each side of the medallion to the desired temperature. Lemon Rosemary Grilled Potatoes 8-10 Red Bliss Potatoes (Cooked and Sliced) **Cook normally with salted water. Cut each piece in thirds. Juice of 2 Lemons ¼ C. Chopped Rosemary ¼ C. Vegetable Oil Salt and Cracked Black Pepper to taste **Toss the potatoes with all the ingredients. Place on grill just to get a little golden brown. Its very easy but gives a perfect touch to the beef!!
Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the tenderloin. It should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
- Allow the tenderloin to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also judge the doneness of the tenderloin by its color. Medium-rare meat will be pink in the center, while medium meat will be slightly brown.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of blue cheese in the stuffing according to your taste preferences. You can also add other ingredients to the stuffing, such as chopped walnuts, dried cranberries, or crumbled bacon.
- If you don't have a kitchen twine, you can use toothpicks to secure the tenderloin after stuffing it.
Conclusion:
Spinach and blue cheese stuffed beef tenderloin is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With its tender meat, flavorful stuffing, and crispy crust, this dish is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a special meal to make, give this recipe a try.
