Ingredients

• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

• 2 teaspoons canola oil, or as needed
• 4 (4 ounce) filet mignon steaks
• 0.5 cup butter, softened
• 0.25 cup crumbled blue cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Mash butter, blue cheese, and thyme together in a small bowl until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Brush steaks with oil and season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Cook steaks on the preheated grill until firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).

Step 5

Transfer steaks to a platter and top with some of the butter mixture. Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
