Filet Mignon and Goat Cheese

INGREDIENTS:
1 Tablespoon butter
2 (5-6 oz) filet mignon steaks (about 1" thick)
Salt & pepper to taste
1 oz soft fresh goat cheese
balsamic glaze

DIRECTIONS:
1 - Preheat the broiler. Season the steaks with salt and pepper.
2 - In a heavy large skillet over medium high heat, melt the butter.
3 - Add the steaks to the skillet, cooking to desired doneness (about 3 minutes per side for medium rare).
4 - Transfer steaks to a baking sheet and crumble the cheese over the steaks. Broil just until the cheese melts, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with pepper.
5 - If desired, drizzle balsamic glaze over the steaks.

THOUGHTS:
This is recipe from www.foodnetwork.com (Giada De Laurentiis). In her recipe, she has the cook make the balsamic glaze, but I will never do that again. The fumes burned my eyes and it was practically unbearable to be in my kitchen while it was cooking. So, if I can find a place to purchase balsamic glaze, then that will be included. If not, it's just not worth it. Other than that, this was a great way to make filet mignon when you do not have convenient access to a grill.
