Ingredients

Filet Mignon

1 lb(s) filet mignon, trimmed

Canola oil, for brushing

Kosher salt

2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper

Fine Herb Goat Cheese

8 oz goat cheese, such as Bonne Bouche

2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1 Tbsp finely chopped chives

1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh tarragon

1 tsp dried lavender or a mix of fresh and dried

Freshly ground black pepper

Vinaigrette

cup mild-variety honey, such as Hamptons Honey Company

3 Tbsp champagne vinegar

2 Tbsp Dijon mustard

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

cup extra-virgin olive oil

Butter lettuce leaves, for filling

Directions

Filet Mignon

1. Remove the filet from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling. Heat a charcoal or gas grill to high for direct grilling.

Fine Herb Goat Cheese

1. Mash together the cheese, parsley, chives, tarragon, lavender and black pepper in a small bowl.

Vinaigrette

1. Whisk together the honey, vinegar, mustard and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl until combined. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.

2. Brush the filet mignon with the canola oil and sprinkle with salt. Press the pepper onto the entire surface.

3. Grill until golden brown and slightly charred on both sides and cooked to medium-rare doneness, about 6 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and let rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before thinly slicing.

4. Fill the lettuce leaves with a few thin slices of the filet, a small dollop of the goat cheese and a drizzle of the vinaigrette.
