Scale

- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 beef tenderloin, filet mignon steaks (~8 ounces each)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

- Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
- Transfer the cooked onions to a large mixing bowl and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Mix in the crumbled blue cheese, panko breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper until combined.

- Quickly sear the steaks for 3 minutes on each side until browned.

Notes
Ensure steaks are at room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
Experiment with different cheeses such as goat or feta for a twist.
Covering the steaks while resting helps retain moisture.
