Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filet Mignon

    Cut the filet mignon into 1-inch cubes and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Shrimp

    If not already done, peel and devein the shrimp. Season with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Soak Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Make the Béarnaise Sauce

  1. 4

    Sauté Shallots

    In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and cook until softened.

  2. 5

    Add Wine

    Pour in the white wine and reduce until almost evaporated. Remove from heat and let cool.

  3. 6

    Whisk Egg Yolks

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the cooled shallot-wine mixture.

  4. 7

    Cook the Sauce

    Over low heat, whisk the egg yolk mixture continuously while gradually adding the remaining butter until the sauce thickens. Stir in tarragon, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Grilling

  1. 8

    Assemble Skewers

    Thread the filet mignon cubes and shrimp onto the skewers, alternating between the two.

  2. 9

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grates.

  3. 10

    Grill the Skewers

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the filet is cooked to your desired doneness and shrimp are opaque.

Serving

  1. 11

    Prepare the Plate

    On a serving platter, arrange a bed of arugula and sprinkle with crumbled blue cheese.

  2. 12

    Serve
