enjoyed a beautiful day at the beach with my dog yesterday took the day off from blogging so im posting last nights dinner  this an easy go to recipe for the weekend when your out having fun but want something a little special to come home too  and its very easy to make  we are med rare people but it can be adjusted for a more well done steak just increase the cooking times
2 teas Montreal steak seasoning
2 filet mignon steaks about an inch and a half to three quarter inch thick
s thick

 preheat over to 450  peel potatoes and cut into wedges toss with rosemary oil and salt arrange on a jelly roll pan lined with parchment and spayed with pam arrange potatoes in a single layer  bake in oven for 15 minutes total time around 25 min

meanwhile combine the beer and sugar in a bowl   heat a skillet over med high heat  sprinkle the seasoning on steaks add the steaks and cook for about 5 minutes this recipe will render steaks medium rare  turn the steaks over and cook for 2 minutes on other side remove from skillet and add to the jellyroll pan in the oven off the parchment  continue cooking potatoes and steak for another 6 minutes or so   meanwhile add the beer mixture to the skillet and reduce to thick and syrupy over a high heat  top the steaks with the beer mixture and the blue cheese  serve with the fries and salad of choice i like to serve with a buffalo salad fresh mozzarella basil tomato dressed with a dab of olive oil and balsamic vinegar
