The dish, Mignon com Queijo (Filet Mignon with Cheese), is a modern Brazilian creation building upon the classic French cut of beef, filet mignon, and incorporating local Brazilian culinary preferences, particularly the love of cheese. While the filet mignon itself has a longer history tied to French cuisine, the combination with cheese is a more recent development, likely arising in restaurants and steakhouses seeking to elevate the dish with familiar, comforting flavors.

Mignon com Queijo offers a rich and savory flavor profile, balancing the tender, beefy taste of filet mignon with the creamy, often salty, and sometimes sharp notes of melted cheese.
The dominant flavor is that of high-quality beef, offering a subtle, buttery tenderness. The cheese, typically a mild melting cheese like mozzarella, provolone, or a Brazilian Queijo Coalho (though variations exist), adds a contrasting texture and flavor. Depending on the cheese used, there can be hints of saltiness, nuttiness, or a slight tang. Some preparations also include garlic, herbs, or a wine reduction sauce to further enhance the flavor complexity. The dish is rich and umami-filled, with the cheese adding a layer of comfort and indulgence.

Cheese Selection
Choose a cheese that melts well and complements the flavor of the beef. Mozzarella, provolone, or a mild Brazilian cheese like Queijo Coalho are good options. Avoid cheeses with overly strong flavors that might overpower the meat.
Cooking Temperature
Cook the filet mignon to your desired level of doneness, ensuring it remains tender and juicy. Overcooking will result in a tough and dry texture.
Browning the Beef
Sear the filet mignon on all sides before adding the cheese to create a flavorful crust and lock in the juices. This step is crucial for developing a rich, savory flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Mignon com Queijo immediately after the cheese has melted, while the beef is still hot and tender. It pairs well with simple sides like rice, mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
