Beef filet steaks are seasoned and seared before being roasted in the oven to achieve a perfect medium-rare. The port sauce is infused with raisins to add a touch of sweetness, while the blue cheese butter provides a burst of tangy flavor. This dish is finished with a sprinkle of fresh chives for added freshness. To achieve the maximum flavor, it's important to use quality ingredients like Irish Cashel Blue cheese.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2.To make the port sauce, combine the raisins and port in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half.
3.Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over high heat. Season the steaks with salt and pepper to taste and sear in the hot oil for 3 to 4 minutes per side until well browned.

6.Remove the shallot and pine nut mixture from heat and stir in the butter, mustard, lemon juice, and crumbled blue cheese until well combined.
