- 2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
- 8 ounces goat cheese, such as Bonne Bouche
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon
- 1 teaspoon dried lavender or a mix of fresh and dried
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup mild-variety honey, such as Hamptons Honey Company

Method
Step 1
For the filet mignon: Remove the filet from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling. Heat a charcoal or gas grill to high for direct grilling.
Step 2
For the fine herb goat cheese: Mash together the cheese, parsley, chives, tarragon, lavender and black pepper in a small bowl.
Step 3
For the vinaigrette: 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.
Step 4
Brush the filet mignon with the canola oil and sprinkle with salt. Press the pepper onto the entire surface.
Step 5
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
Step 6
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.
