Blue Cheese Padron Butter

1. In a small pot, sweat the shallots in 1 tsp. of butter until translucent.
   Set aside to cool.
2. Once cool, combine the butter, shallots and remaining ingredients in a
   bowl and mix. Season with salt and pepper. Place on a piece of
   parchment or wax paper and roll into 1” wide log. Place in
   refrigerator to chill and firm.
3. Slice butter into 3/4” thick slices. Bring to room temperature when
   ready to serve.

Beef Filet & Mushrooms

1. Preheat oven to 350º F. Season the beef all over with salt and pepper. Let sit for 15 min. or longer.
2. Heat a sauté pan over medium high heat. Place the beef in the pan, flat side down. Sear the beef until golden brown, flip and cook on the other side, then rotate the meat so that the meat browns all over. Finish in the oven if necessary. Cook to medium rare, 130º-135º F. Let sit in a warm spot for 10 min.
3. Degrease the pan and return to the heat. Add the mushrooms and oil. Sauté for 3-5 min. or until golden brown. Clear a spot in the center of the pan, add shallots and garlic and let cook for 1 min., then toss with the mushrooms. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Note, beef can also be seared over direct flame on the grill, then moved to a cooler spot off of the flame to finish roasting.

To Serve

Place the mushrooms in the center of the plate. Slice the steak in 6 pieces. Place 3 slices on each plate. Place a slice of butter on top of the filet (the butter should melt when placed on the filet).
