Grilled Filet Mignon with Goat Cheese Cream

by Greg Flores

Tender filet mignon is grilled to perfection and topped with a silky goat cheese cream sauce made with white wine, shallots, and heavy cream. The mild tang of goat cheese adds richness and subtle acidity to the sauce, creating an elegant complement to the savory beef. Serve with a baked potato and seasonal vegetables. Pair with an earthy glass of BARGETTO Pinot Noir: the lighter body and bright acidity provide a good contrast to the richness of the cream and goat cheese while complementing the filet mignon.
