Broiled Filet Mignon, Madness Style

Filet mignon is such a tender cut of beef. Baked Feta cheese brings a wonderful additional flavor. You'll normally find filet mignon topped with bleu cheese in restaurants, but we prefer baked feta in how it bakes and mixes well with the onion and chili peppers. Also, you can set the prepared dish in the fridge a few hours to marinade before broiling if you'd like to give the flavors time to mix.

Ingredients

• 2 8-ounce Filet Mignon steaks, about 1 inch thick each
• 4 dried pasilla chili peppers
• 8 ounces Feta cheese, cubed
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon chili powder (I used piquin molido, or ground piquin chili pepper)
• ½ cup olive oil

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to broil.
2. Rehydrate the pasilla peppers by placing them in a bowl and covering them with hot water. Let sit about 10 minutes, then drain. Remove the stems, seed, and chop.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil and chili powder. Mix well.
4. Add onion and chopped pasilla peppers. Mix well.
5. To a baking dish, add filet mignon and pour your olive oil pepper mixture over the top to coat.
6. top with cubed chunks of Feta cheese
7. Broil about 8 minutes, then flip and broil an additional 6 minutes for medium doneness. See chart below for actual cooking times.
8. Serve with veggies of choice!
