Tablespoon Dried thyme  
Tablespoon Olive oil  
Cup Veal stock  
Ounce Bacon; chopped  
Cup Veal stock  
Tablespoon Chopped shallots  
Teaspoon Chopped garlic  
/2 Cup Walnut pieces  
Filet mignons −; (8 Ounce ea)  
Cup Crumbled Stilton cheese  
/2 Cup Port wine  
Cup Vegetable oil  
Shallots; cut 1/4 rings  
/4 Cup Flour  
Tablespoon Chopped parsley  
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with  
thyme and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and cracked black pepper.  
Place the potatoes in an oven−proof saute pan. Roast the potatoes for 20  
minutes or until golden−brown. Remove the potatoes from the oven and turn  
into a mixing bowl. Place the saute pan on the stove. Over medium−high heat,  
deglaze the pan with the veal stock. Reduce the stock by half, about 8  
minutes. Set the veal reduction aside and keep warm. In a hot saute pan,  
render the bacon until crispy, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Stir  
in the shallots, garlic, and walnuts. Saute for 2 minutes. Remove from the  
heat. In a mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with the bacon mixture. Set the  
potatoes aside in a warm place. On the side of each filet make a 2−inch slit  
forming a pocket. Stuff each pocket with 2 tablespoons of the cheese. Season  
the filets with salt and cracked black pepper. In oven−proof saute pan, add  
the olive oil. When the oil is hot, sear the filets for 2 minutes on each  
side. Place the pan in the oven and roast the filets for 6 to 7 minutes for  
medium−rare. Remove the filets from the pan and set aside. Place the saute  
pan on the stove. Over medium−high heat, deglaze the pan with the port wine.  
Reduce the wine by half, about 5 minutes. Pour the vegetable oil in a sauce  
pan and heat the oil. Dredge the shallots in the flour, coating the shallots  
completely. Fry the shallots in the hot oil until golden−brown, about 2  
minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper−lined plate. Season the  
shallots with salt. To assemble, divide the potatoes by four and mound the  
potatoes in the center of each plate. Lay each filet on top of the potatoes.  
Spoon the veal reduction over each filet. Drizzle each plate with the port  
wine reduction. Garnish each plate with the remaining Stilton cheese, fried  
shallots and parsley. This recipe yields 4 main−course servings.
