I don’t think blue cheese belongs on steak. Just ruined a perfectly good filet mignon. Stick with regular butter or something. Disappointed.
This recipe was absolutely incredible! The blue cheese butter takes it to another level. I couldn’t stop eating it. 10/10 would recommend!
This recipe is amazing! The blue cheese butter really takes it to the next level. Definitely a 5-star meal!
Easy recipe! I didn’t have blue cheese, so I used cheddar and it was still good!
Just a steak with cheese? How fancy can that be? I think its overrated.
I think you underestimate the power of good ingredients! Steak and cheese can be a match made in heaven.
I don’t think searing the steak helps much, I usually grill mine but this was still ok. 3 stars.
This is too fancy for me. I just prefer a grilled hamburger….
Not bad but I used cheddar instead of blue cheese. Still turned out tasty!
Meh, the butter overpowered the steak. I wouldn’t do it again.
Way too much cheese for my taste! I prefer a citrusy topping instead. Might try this again without the blue cheese.
Simple and delicious! Perfect for date night 😍
This recipe sounds fancy! But can you really cook a filet mignon at home? It feels like it’s only for restaurants. 🤔
This was amazing! The blue cheese butter took it to another level, yum!
Why 400°F? Should be lower for a steak. Gotta watch it if you don’t want a shoe!
Honestly, I think 400°F is perfect for steak! Gives it a nice sear and keeps it juicy. But hey, if you can make it lower and still tasty, more power to ya!
What? Shoe? No way! 400°F is the way to go! My steaks come out amazing at that temp. Maybe you just need to practice more?
I was doubtful about the blue cheese but wow, it was a game changer! Will make again for sure.
It was okay, but I think I overcooked the steak. How do I make sure it’s medium-rare next time?
My husband loved it! It was a hit at our dinner party. Definitely making again.
Best steak ever! The searing part is real important though!
Totally agree! Searing makes all the difference. It’s like the magic step! 🥩✨
I didn’t think it was that important. Just cook it to your liking, right? 🤷♂️
Absolutely delicious! The blue cheese butter adds such a rich flavor to the steak. My family loved it!
Wow! Just wow! I never cooked such a fancy steak before. My husband loved it. Will make again!
I dunno, steak is just steak. All that fuss for butter? Seems like a waste. I prefer mine with just salt and pepper.
This sounds fantastic! I’m so glad your husband enjoyed it! I can’t wait to try it myself. Thanks for sharing! 🙌
Took me ages to cook properly, I should stick to spaghetti! Too complicated.
Easy recipe but I think filet mignon should be grilled not baked. But I guess it turned out fine!
Grilling is definitely the classic way to do it! But I think baking brings out the juices better sometimes. Glad it worked out for you!
Nah, grilling is much better! This way it might taste a bit dry. Just my opinion though.
