Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 steaks (6 to 8 ounces each) filet mignon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 loaf, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds baguette
- 4 tablespoons, softened unsalted butter
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley
- 2 tablespoons, grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the filet mignon steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the steaks to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side to create a golden-brown crust.
Transfer the steaks to a baking dish and place in the preheated oven. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes for medium-rare or adjust based on your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy (130°F for medium-rare).
Remove the steaks from the oven, loosely tent with foil, and let rest for at least 10 minutes.
While the steaks are resting, prepare the garlic toasts. Spread the baguette slices on a baking sheet in a single layer.
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and grated parmesan cheese.
Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over each baguette slice.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the toasts are crispy and golden around the edges.
Once the steaks have rested, slice them thinly against the grain.
Top each garlic toast with a slice or two of filet mignon.
Garnish with additional parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
