Filet Mignon with goat cheese sauce and Grand Marnier sautéed peppers
Inspired by the Super Strip at CC's City Broiler in Missouri, this Filet Mignon with Goat Cheese Sauce and Grand Marnier Sauteed Peppers may be the best steak we have ever made. Perfectly elegant, though also fairly simple to make, you will want to add this steak to your must try list.

Goat Cheese Sauce
