Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add chopped onions and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are translucent.
Transfer the cooked onions to a mixing bowl and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the crumbled blue cheese, panko breadcrumbs, kosher salt, and coarse ground black pepper.
Gently mash the mixture together with a fork until well combined.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over high heat.
Season the filet mignon steaks with kosher salt and black pepper on all sides.
Sear the steaks in the skillet for 3 minutes on each side until browned.
Top the browned steaks with the blue cheese mixture and transfer to the oven to bake for 4-6 minutes depending on desired doneness.
Allow the steaks to rest for 10 minutes, covered with foil, before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use a high-quality blue cheese.
Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of your steaks and preferred doneness.
Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
