Recipe View Remove steaks from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. (5 minutes)

For best results, use high-quality filet mignon steaks that are at least 1.5 inches thick.
If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can pan-sear the steaks in a cast-iron skillet and then finish them in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C).
Experiment with different types of blue cheese for a unique flavor profile. Gorgonzola or Roquefort are excellent alternatives.
Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
