"Roquefort should be eaten on one's knees."
-Grimod de la Reynière, 18th century French gourmand

The refrigerator light goes on...

This is a simple and fast recipe with ingredients that keep well around the house. You can use bottled roasted red peppers (get the ones that are packed in water and not oil). I keep jars of these in the pantry and I always have some blue cheese in the fridge. It takes so little to whiz them together with a bit of salt and pepper for the most sublime sauce.

...
1/2 cup roasted red pepper
1 ounces Maytag blue cheese

4 4 ounce tenderloin filets

Place the peppers and blue cheese in a mini-chopper or blender jar. Blend on high until smooth. Add the salt and ground black pepper and blend until smooth.

Place the sauce in a sauce pan and heat gently over low heat.

Preheat the oven to 450°F and place a large non-stick grill pan inside. After about ten minutes remove it and lightly spray with olive oil. Place the four filets in the pan so that they do not touch and return to the oven. Cook for about 5 - 7 minutes on each side for medium rare.

Serve topped with 2 tablespoons of sauce.
