Filet Mignon with Creamy Blue Cheese Shallot Sauce is on the menu this Valentine’s Day. It’s always a hit and can be made it no time. It’s a quick, simple recipe and it will impress anyone you make it for.
Do you typically go out for Valentine’s Day or stay home? I must admit that 99% of the time, we stay home. When I first created this recipe I was pregnant with my son, Jack. When I was pregnant I had Gestational Diabetes and was put on a strict diet. This was a meal that was not only delicious, but worked with my Gestational Diabetes diet. My sugar levels didn’t spike and I didn’t want to pass out after I ate it.
My recipes are usually 4 servings but you can always cut this one in half for the two of you on Valentine’s Day. I’m using filet mignon but you can use any cut of steak. Seriously, I would eat this Creamy blue cheese shallot sauce off of a tire.
Step 1: Prepare your ingredients. Bring your stick of butter and filet mignon to room temperature or 20-30 minutes before you begin cooking.
How To Make The Blue Cheese Shallot Sauce
Melt a 1/2 stick of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, dried herbs, salt and pepper and sherry. Stir together. Then, you will turn off the burner and add the blue cheese. Stir until melted.
How divine does that sauce look? It’s the perfect Keto dinner. Serve this with asparagus because that is what we had in the refrigerator, but this would also go really well with garlic cauliflower mashed or grilled zucchini as well.
