Step by Step Instructions

1
Preheat the broiler to high.
2
In a medium saucepan, combine the white sugar and balsamic vinegar.
3
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
4
Reduce the heat slightly and continue simmering the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it reduces to about one-third of its original volume (approximately 20 minutes). Set aside.
5
While the glaze is reducing, season each filet mignon steak with a pinch of flaky sea salt, ground black pepper, and ground cumin on both sides.
6
In a large oven-proof skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium-high heat.
7
Add the crushed garlic cloves and rosemary sprig to the skillet.
8
Add the seasoned steaks to the skillet and sear for about 3 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. Baste the steaks with butter after flipping.
9
Crumble goat cheese evenly over the top of each steak.
10
Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil for about 1 minute, or until the goat cheese is lightly browned and just melted.
11
Optionally, use a kitchen torch to further toast the goat cheese for a golden finish.
12
Remove the skillet from the oven and tent the steaks loosely with foil. Let them rest for about 2 minutes.
13
Plate the steaks and drizzle generously with the balsamic glaze. Serve immediately.
