Ingredients
Instructions
- Season steaks with salt and pepper to taste.
- Grill the steaks for 4 minutes per side.
- Mix beef broth, brandy, and rosemary and bring to a boil, cooking for about 5 minutes.
- Spoon the sauce over the steaks and top with crumbled blue cheese.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, allow the filet steaks to come to room temperature before grilling. This ensures even cooking. If you don't have brandy, dry white wine or bourbon can be used as substitutes. Fresh rosemary can also be replaced with thyme for a different flavor profile. Make sure to use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; medium-rare is ideal at 130°F.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Filet Belmont House with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with a rich red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon. For a heartier option, consider serving with creamy mashed potatoes or the classic American recipe for Maple And Brown Sugar Meat Loaf for a delightful contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the steak in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. Alternatively, gently microwave on medium power, adding a splash of broth to keep it moist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
While it's best served fresh, you can prepare the sauce in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Grill the steaks just before serving to maintain their juiciness and flavor.
What cut of beef works best for this recipe?
Filet mignon is the ideal cut for this recipe due to its tenderness and flavor. However, you can substitute with other cuts like ribeye or sirloin if you prefer. Just adjust cooking times according to the thickness of the steaks.
Can I use a different cheese instead of Blue cheese?
Absolutely! If Blue cheese isn't your favorite, consider using Gorgonzola for a similar flavor. Alternatively, crumbled feta or goat cheese can offer a delightful tang while still complementing the dish.
