Filet Mignon With Red Onion Marmalade And Blue Cheese Recipe

	Hotpad / All my dishes 5 months, 1 week ago This is the best way to eat a Filet Mignon. I had it in a restaurant and went straight home and found a recipe for the Red Onion Marmalade (stolen from Scearley) that is a perfect compliment to the beef and the Blue Cheese on top. Prep:15m Cook:60m Servings:4	Hotpad

Ingredients

Red Onion Marmalade

*************************

1 Tbs extra virgin olive oil

1 Tbs butter

1 large red onion, thinly sliced

1 garlic clove, minced

1 c. port wine

1 c. burgundy wine (or any dry red)

1/2 c. fresh orange juice

1/3 c. honey

1/4 c. balsamic vinegar

1 tsp. orange zest

**************************

4-7 to 9 oz Filet Mignon

2 large garlic cloves cut in half

Salt and fresh cracked pepper

1 - 8 oz Block of Blue Cheese (I like Stilton or Gorgonzola)

Directions

Leave Filets out on the counter to come to room temperature while you make the Marmalade

*************************

In a medium skillet over medium heat melt the butter in the oil

Add the onion and cook until caramelized (about 25 minutes)

Add garlic and stir for a minute

Add port and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring

Add remaining ingredients and reduce the liquid to a marmalade consistency (it will thicken some on cooling)

Remove from heat, and let stand until cool to room temperature

*************************

Once the Marmalade is done and cooling, rub both sides of the filet with the garlic cloves

Salt lightly and pepper heavily

Cook the filet either on the grill or in a cast iron skillet to desired temp (nothing over medium please)

145 degrees for medium rare

160 degrees for medium

TIP: Remove steaks from heat 5-10 degrees short of your desired temp

Place filets on a plate and cover with foil, let stand 10 minutes before assembling plate

Slice the block of blue cheese into four equal slabs

On dinner plate, place a bed of the Red Onion Marmalade, place a filet on Marmalade

Drizzle with any dripping from the plate on which the filets rested

Top with a slab of the blue cheese and let stand a minute or two until the cheese softens

DEVOUR!

This is a fabulous recipe. I found the marmalade recipe on this site (courtesy of scearly) and demanded HOTPAD make it for me as he had it at a local restaurant and only shared ONE BITE with me. Several friends requested it for their birthday dinner.
