Crusted bleu cheese adds stunning flavor to our juicy bison filets, while browned butter enhances the dish's richness. An easy recipe. A beautiful presentation.

4 - High Plains Bison Filet Mignon, 6 oz. each
5 tablespoon butter

Pepper

Preheat broiler.

Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat.

Sprinkle both sides of steaks with salt and a generous amount of ground black pepper. Add to skillet and cook to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium.

Transfer steaks to a broiler pan and top each with 1 oz. Maytag Bleu Cheese. Place on top rack of oven of which the broiler has been preheated. Broil until a light crust forms on the cheese.
