The combination of savory blue cheese and prosciutto, the sweet figs, caramelized onions and balsamic glaze, and slightly bitter arugula make this recipe a winner every time I make it.

Instructions to make Steak with caramelized figs, blue cheese and balsamic:
- Add a splash of olive oil and a pat of butter to a large pan on high heat. Season the steaks well with salt and freshly cracked black pepper, and sear them for 3 to 4 minutes on one side.
- Flip the steaks over and lay the thyme sprigs on top. Add a few more tbsp of butter to the pan and let it melt. Baste the meat and thyme with the melted butter for another 3 to 4 minutes. Throw away the thyme sprigs and remove the meat to a plate. Top with the blue cheese so it can melt as the steaks rest.
- Add the shallot and figs to the pan. Let fry, turning the figs over as needed, until the figs are caramelized and the shallot softened but not burnt. This'll only take a few minutes.
- Arrange the figs and shallot on top of the steaks. Drizzle everything with a few tbsp of balsamic vinegar. Serve hot.
For a more mildly-flavored cut, like filet mignon, the blue cheese and balsamic caramelized shallots add to the overall flavor of the steak significantly. Tangy blue cheese balancing out sweet fig jam and candy-like onions caramelized in balsamic vinegar and port wine. Crispy bacon next to chewy mozzarella slices. Fresh baby arugula adding a peppery finishing touch. All mingling together on a fig, bacon, caramelized onion, and blue cheese pizza.
