Beef steak with blue cheese and mushroom sauce

Beef steak with blue cheese and mushroom sauce is a savory and indulgent dish that combines tender beef fillet, aromatic mushrooms, and tangy blue cheese. The pepper adds a touch of heat while the spinach balances the richness of the sauce. Perfect for a special dinner or an indulgent weekend meal, this recipe is sure to impress.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef Fillet:
- Press the black pepper onto both sides of the beef fillet, ensuring it is evenly coated.
2. Sear the Beef Fillet:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the beef fillet.
- Cook the beef for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. For a medium-rare steak, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F (54-57°C).
- Remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest on a plate, loosely covering it with aluminum foil to keep warm.
3. Prepare the Mushroom Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté them over medium heat until they release their moisture and become golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the beef broth, stirring to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the mixture simmer for about 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
4. Add Blue Cheese and Spinach:
- Sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese over the mushroom mixture, stirring until it melts and creates a creamy sauce.
- Add the chopped spinach and stir until it wilts, about 1 minute.
5. Serve:
- Slice the rested beef fillet into medallions and place them on serving plates.
- Spoon the blue cheese and mushroom sauce over the steak slices.
- Serve immediately, perhaps with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Tips:

- Choose Quality Beef: Opt for a high-quality beef fillet to ensure tenderness and enhanced flavor. Grass-fed or organic options are often the best choices.

- Tenderize the Meat: Use a meat tenderizer or gently pound the fillet to ensure it remains tender and cooks evenly.

- Heat the Pan Properly: Make sure your pan is hot before adding the steak. This helps to sear the meat, locking in juices and creating a flavorful crust.

- Do Not Overcook: Cook the steak to your preferred doneness but be mindful not to overcook it. A medium-rare to medium doneness works well for this recipe.

- Rest the Meat: Let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

- Deglaze the Pan: After cooking the steak, deglaze the pan with beef broth to incorporate all the flavorful bits stuck to the bottom. This adds depth to your sauce.

- Balance the Sauce: Add blue cheese gradually to the mushroom sauce, tasting as you go. Blue cheese can be quite strong, and adding it bit by bit helps control the flavor intensity.

With just a few simple ingredients and steps, you can create a restaurant-quality meal at home. The combination of juicy, peppered steak and creamy blue cheese mushroom sauce is a match made in culinary heaven. Serve with a side of sautéed spinach for a well-rounded and delightful dish.
