I adapted this very simply recipe from one that I pulled out of Traditional Home magazine. I served it with fresh boiled, buttered and herbed beets from our garden.
The filet looks thin in this photograph, but it is, in fact, tied and 2 inches thick! Enjoy!

2 (8 ounce filet mignon), tied to a 2 inch thickness
salt and pepper to taste (on the beef)
1 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. chopped shallots
1 Tsp. minced garlic
1/4 cup ruby port (I had to use my reserve. No ruby port in the house!)
1/2 cup reduced sodium beef broth
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes and chilled (not critical if they aren’t chilled enough)
2 ounces Stilton blue cheese (1 ounce of cheese for every steak you cook)
1/2 Tbsp. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking pan with foil; set aside. Season steaks on both sides with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. butter with olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook steaks until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to prepared baking pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes for medium-rare doneness (145 degrees F). Remove from oven. Let steaks stand 5 minutes.
PORT WINE REDUCTION: Meanwhile, heat the same large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic, and stir for 30 seconds. Remove skillet from heat. Add port to deglaze; stir, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan. Return to heat; bring to simmer. Simmer, uncovered, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add beef broth; simmer, uncovered until reduced by half, about 8 or 9 minutes. Add butter to skillet, 1 piece at a time, whisking until incorporated after each addition. Remove skillet from heat . Sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Crumble a circle of Stilton in the center of plate to outline the size of the steak. Place steak in center of Stilton circle and spoon a little of the reduction sauce on top of the filet. The rest of the reduction sauce can be spooned around the perimeter of the plate. Garnish with fresh parsley.
