Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 4 (6 ounce) filet mignon steaks

  • seasoned salt, to taste

  • cracked black pepper, to taste

  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • 2 teaspoons dried rosemary

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

  • 2 cups onion slices

  • 1 teaspoon white sugar

  • 4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled

Directions

  1. Season steaks with seasoned salt and black pepper; arrange in a single layer in a large baking dish. Whisk olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, and rosemary together in a bowl; pour over steaks and turn to coat. Marinate for up to 30 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion slices; cook until soft, then stir in sugar. Continue cooking until onion slices are caramelized; set aside.

  3. Preheat an outdoor grill for two-zone grilling, heating one side to high and one side to medium; lightly oil the grate.

  4. Cook steaks on hotter side of grill for 10 minutes, turning once. When steaks are almost done, move to cooler side of grill. Top each steak with 1/4 each caramelized onions and blue cheese. Close the lid; cook until cheese is melted.

Cook’s Note

I like to serve these smothered steaks with some mashed garlic red potatoes and sweetened green beans for a fabulous special occasion meal. A bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon or Shiraz pairs well with steak.
