Ingredients
Scale
- 2 filet mignons
- Kosher Salt
- ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2-3 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
Instructions
- Take the filet steaks out of the fridge 30 to 60 minutes before cooking.
- Generously season both sides with kosher salt and pepper and allow to sit.
- Preheat the oven to 475°F.
- Heat a cast iron pan over high heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Once hot, carefully add the oil.
- With tongs, place the filet mignons in the pan, seasoned side down.
- Sear for 2 to 3 minutes, then season the other side with kosher salt and pepper. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until a crust forms. Remove the skillet from heat.
- Add the butter, garlic, and herbs to the pan.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for 4 to 7 minutes, checking the thickest part of the meat with a thermometer 5 degrees below desired temperature.
- Take out from the oven and tent with foil for 2 to 5 minutes. Baste with the melted butter and serve.
Notes
For the best results, allow the meat to come to room temperature before cooking.
Using a meat thermometer helps ensure perfectly cooked steak; aim for your desired doneness.
Basting with butter enhances the flavor and juiciness of the meat.
