Steak with caramelized figs, blue cheese and balsamic
The idea for the dish was born from a bag of figs our next door neighbour generously gave us. By coincidence, I already had most of the other ingredients at hand, so it was only a matter of putting everything together. This isn't so much a recipe as it is an assemblage of delicious things, but you don't have to tell your guests that.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Add a splash of olive oil and a pat of butter to a large pan on high heat. Season the steaks well with salt and freshly cracked black pepper, and sear them for 3 to 4 minutes on one side.
- 2
Flip the steaks over and lay the thyme sprigs on top. Add a few more tbsp of butter to the pan and let it melt. Baste the meat and thyme with the melted butter for another 3 to 4 minutes. Throw away the thyme sprigs and remove the meat to a plate. Top with the blue cheese so it can melt as the steaks rest.
- 3
Add the shallot and figs to the pan. Let fry, turning the figs over as needed, until the figs are caramelized and the shallot softened but not burnt. This'll only take a few minutes.
- 4
Arrange the figs and shallot on top of the steaks. Drizzle everything with a few tbsp of balsamic vinegar. Serve hot.

Veal Filet Steak with Foie Gras Veal Filet Steak with Foie Gras
I bought fresh foie gras imported directly from France and a block of veal filet. The instructions said it would be delicious simply sautéed, so I added soy sauce to make French cuisine in my family's style.Warm the serving plates, and you can enjoy this dish as you would at a restaurant.We like soy sauce in our house so I used a little bit for both the filet and the foie gras, but the foie gras may be better with a slightly sweet sauce, so adjust the amount of sugar to taste. For 2 servings. Recipe by Kattasan
