Filet Mignon With Feta Corn

Time for a nice dinner for four and this can’t be beat..steak – fresh corn – cheese.  Add a baked potato and salad along with, I might add, a glass of a lovely Merlot or Pinot Noir. Yum!

• 4 x 8 oz. filet mignon steaks
• 2 tbsp. olive oi l
• coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
• 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 3 ears of corn, shucked and kernals removed from the cobs
• 1 tbsp. tarragon
• 1/2 cup beef stock
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 tbsp. butter

Preheat grill…. Rub the steaks with 2 tsp. of oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on the grill for 8 – 10 minutes a side for medium rare. Transfer to a platter and tent with foil. Let rest for 5 minutes.

Cook the onion and garlic in the remaining oil until softened for 5 minutes. Add the corn and tarragon and stir well. Add the stock and simmer for 4-5 minutes until the corn is tender. Add the heavy cream, bring to a boil and reduce by 1/3.

Remove from heat and add 1 cup of the cheese and butter and stir until all has melted. Divide the corn mixture equally among the 4 plates and top with a steak. Add a chilled salad, glass of good wine and the evening begins……music anyone?
