Ingredients

2 ancho chiles 3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped 2 tablespoons pine nuts 2 teaspoons honey 2 red bell peppers, grilled cut into 1/4 in thick strips 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped, plus leaves for garnish 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus 1 teaspoon for filet mignon 1/4 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground 4 (8 oz) steaks filet mignon 1 tablespoon canola oil 4 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper 8 oz fresh goat cheese, cut into 4 slices

Instructions

Place the ancho chiles in a medium bowl, cover with boiling water and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour. Remove the chiles from the soaking liquid, stem and coarsely chop, and combine in a blender with the garlic, pine nuts, honey and 1/4 cup of the soaking liquid. Blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a medium bowl and stir in the bell pepper strips, vinegar, cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cover and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours before serving. Black Pepper Crusted Filet Mignon with Goat Cheese: Heat your grill to high. Brush the filets with the oil and season both sides of each filet with 1 teaspoon salt salt and 1 side of each filet with the 4 teaspoons black pepper. Place the steaks on the grill, pepper side down and grill until lightly charred and crusty, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the steaks over, and grill for 2 to 3 minutes longer for medium-rare. Turn the steaks, once more so that the pepper side is facing up and top each filet with a slice of the cheese. Close the cover and grill until the cheese begins to melt slightly, about 1 minute. Remove the steaks from the grill, let rest for 5 minutes. Top each filet with the roasted red pepper-ancho salsa. Garnish with cilantro leaves, before serving.
