Ingredients
  

  • 250 g chorizo
  • 600 g filet mignon (4 pieces) about 150 g each
  • 100 g Comté cheese grated
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • optional Herbes de Provence

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.
  3. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat; add onion and garlic, cooking until golden brown (about 5 minutes).
  4. Cut the chorizo into small cubes and add to the pan; cook until nicely browned.
  5. Stir in the grated Comté cheese while the mixture is still warm.
  6. Carefully cut a pocket in each piece of filet mignon; spoon the chorizo and Comté mixture into each pocket and secure with toothpicks if needed.
  7. Season the outside of the meat with salt, pepper, and sprinkle with Herbes de Provence.
  8. Heat a skillet over high heat and sear the stuffed filets for about 3 minutes per side.
  9. Transfer the seared filets to a baking tray and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, depending on desired doneness.
  10. Let the filets rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For a lighter option, consider using ground turkey instead of beef. You can also try replacing Comté cheese with Gruyère or aged cheddar. Make sure not to skip the searing step, as it enhances the flavor significantly. After preparing, let the meat rest to keep it juicy, and enjoy paired with sides like roasted veggies or mashed potatoes. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, avoid the microwave and opt for the oven instead.
