     Herbed Filet Mignon w/Blue Cheese & Cognac Sauce

Category   Entrees - Maindishes
Sub Category   None
Servings   4

Ingredients
Rub
2 teaspoons mustard seed
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, finely minced
Extra virgin olive oil
Sauce
 
5 large garlic cloves
3/4 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon cognac
2 ounces blue cheese
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
1) Using a mortar and pestle grind the rub ingredients until the mustard seed is broken. Pour into a small bowl, add 1 teaspoon oil and stir to combine. 2) Lightly coat the steaks on both sides with oil and season evenly with rub. Allow the steaks to stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before grilling. 3) Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium high heat (350 to 450) 4) Place the garlic cloves in the middle of a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil and fold up the sides and seal to make a packet, leaving a little room for the expansion of steam. Grill over direct medium heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until the garlic is soft when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 20 minutes. Remove from the grill and allow the garlic to cool slightly.
5) Meanwhile, in a small, heavy bottomed saucepan over medium high heat, bring the chicken stock and cognac to a simmer. Cook until the liquid is reduced to about 1/3 cup, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Chop the garlic and add it to the saucepan along with the remaining sauce ingredients. Stir to incorporate the cheese, mashing it slightly to help it melt. 6) Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the steaks over direct medium heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until cooked to your cooked to your desired doneness, about 10 minutes for medium rare, turning once or twice (if flare ups occur, move the steaks temporarily over indirect heat). Remove from the grill and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes. 7) Just before serving, warm the sauce over low heat (do not boil). Spoon the sauce over the steaks. Serve immediately.
