Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
Add chopped onions and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until they become translucent.
Transfer the cooked onions to a large mixing bowl and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes.
In the mixing bowl, combine blue cheese, panko breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper with the onions.
Gently mash the ingredient mixture together using a fork.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over high heat, ensuring the skillet is large enough for the steaks.
Season both sides of the filet mignon steaks with kosher salt and black pepper.
Sear the steaks in the hot skillet for 3 minutes on each side until nicely browned.
Top each steak with the blue cheese mixture, then transfer to the oven.
Bake for 4 minutes for rare or 5-6 minutes for medium doneness; adjust for well done if preferred.
Let the steaks rest for 10 minutes, covered with foil, before serving.

Notes

For the best flavor, use high-quality blue cheese.
Let the steaks come to room temperature before searing for more even cooking.
Ensure your skillet is very hot before adding the steaks for a perfect sear.
