Blue Cheese Crusted Filet is a decadent easy and delicious dinner that is perfect for the family or a dinner party.  Cooking filet this way guarantees you the perfectly cooked, seasoned juicy steak.
There is nothing more I love than a juicy steak. Â As a kid growing up Sunday’s my Dad would cook up steaks on the grill, and my Mom would make a baked potato and salad to serve along side the steak. Â It was always the same the meal and the type of steak, T-bone. Â You see I was raised on red meat and I am still a huge fan, and am always finding delicious ways to serve it up. Â These Blue Cheese Crusted Filets, are oh my lordy good.
Have you ever had blue cheese on steak?  It is this perfect little party of flavors.
This dish is ready in 30 minutes, and let me tell you, your family and friends will be doing jumping jacks singing your praises and demandign you make this again and again.  Perfect served along a salad and bake potato if you want to go old school, or a more modern version with steam veggies and sweet potato fries.  However you serve it just make sure to let your steaks sit for at least 5 minutes before serving.

I love blue cheese on steak, it’s a topping my husband and I always use but that sauce is not something I’ve tried before. It sounds completely delicious. This sounds like a great “date night” dinner!
The sauce adds another great layer of flavor Joanie. I hope you give it a try.

I’m not a steak eater, but this might convince me otherwise! Looks amazing!
Thanks Cathy!
Every once in a while, I really crave a big, juicy piece of steak. Boy this would totally satisfy that craving. Plus blue cheese is about may favorite cheese ever-bonus!
I am with you Tanya, there is something about a big steak that is so satisfying.
I love bleu cheese but unfortunately I have celiac disease. Bleu cheese is not a true gluten friendly cheese. The recipe sounds out of this world!
