Filet Mignon With Goat Cheese And Balsamic Reduction - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter
6 (5 ounce) filet mignon steaks (each about 1-inch thick)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 ounces soft fresh goat cheese

Preparation

Boil the balsamic vinegar and sugar in a heavy small saucepan over medium-high heat until reduced to 1/3 cup, stirring occasionally, about 18 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the broiler.
Melt the butter in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper.
Cook the steaks to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Transfer the steaks to a baking sheet.
Crumble the cheese over the steaks and broil just until the cheese melts, about 1 minute.
Sprinkle with pepper.
Transfer the steaks to plates. Drizzle the balsamic sauce around the steaks and serve.
