4 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 , 6 oz. beef fillets (or roast of beef)
salt and pepper
6 oz. blue cheese
1 1/2 shallots, minced
3/4 cups walnuts, toasted and chopped
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup white wine
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 1/2 shallots, minced
Preheat oven to 375 F.
To prepare beef, heat oil in a fry pan over medium-high heat. Season beef
and sear evenly on both sides. Place beef on a baking sheet or roasting
pan.
Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl to make a crust. Add a sprinkle of
water, if needed, to bind everything together. Using your hands, scoop up
crust, pack it slightly and place an equal amount on top of each fillet.
Roast fillets in oven for 20 minutes, until medium rare; internal
temperature of 130 F.
Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Cheers
& Enjoy!
