Filet Mignon with Fried Onions and Sharp Cheddar
Preparation
- Heat the oil in a large pot or deep fryer until it reaches 180°C (350°F) on a cooking thermometer. If you are using a pot, watch the oil carefully to ensure it does not overheat and catch fire.
- Mix the onion rings with the flour in a bowl. Shake the rings to remove the excess flour.
- Fry the onion rings in the oil for about 2 minutes, until they are golden-brown and crispy. Dry them on paper towels. Season with salt.
- Melt a little butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Season the filet mignons with salt and pepper. Cook them for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until rare. Set aside on a plate.
- Place one slice of sharp cheddar on each filet mignon. Cover the plate loosely with aluminum foil. Let sit for 5 minutes. Serve the filet mignons with the fried onions.
