Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 (6 ounce) filet mignon steaks
seasoning salt
cracked black pepper
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
1 tablespoon butter
2 cups onions, slices
1 teaspoon white sugar
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Season steaks with seasoned salt and black pepper, and arrange in a single layer in a large baking dish.
  • In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, and rosemary.
  • Pour mixture over filets, and turn to coat. Marinate for up to 30 minutes.
  • While you are marinating the meat, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Cook onion slices in butter until soft, then stir in sugar. Continue cooking until onions are caramelized. Set aside.
  • Preheat grill for high heat on one side, and medium heat on the other side.
  • Lightly oil the grill grate. Place steaks on the hot side of the grill, and cook for 10 minutes, turning once.
  • When the steaks are almost done, move to the cooler side of the grill.
  • Top each filet with a quarter of the caramelized onions and blue cheese. Close the lid, and continue cooking until the cheese is melted.
