Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6-8 ounces each) Filet mignon steaks
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon (freshly ground) Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme sprigs
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
Instructions
Remove the filet mignon steaks from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature (about 30 minutes). This ensures even cooking.
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on all sides.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it just starts to smoke.
Carefully place the steaks in the pan and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, until a golden-brown crust forms. Make sure not to move the steaks while searing to achieve a proper crust.
After searing, reduce the heat slightly and add the butter, minced garlic, thyme sprigs, and rosemary sprigs to the skillet.
Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to continuously baste the steaks with the melted butter and herbs for about 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the skillet with the steaks to the preheated oven and cook for 5-8 minutes, depending on your desired doneness (5 minutes for medium-rare, 7-8 minutes for medium). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy—125°F (52°C) for medium-rare, 135°F (57°C) for medium.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the steaks to a cutting board or plate. Let them rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the filet mignon hot, drizzled with the garlic herb butter from the skillet. Pair with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes, for a complete meal.
