Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Filet mignon steaks
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tsp Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp (or to taste) Salt
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme leaves, and black pepper.
Place the filet mignon steaks in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag, ensuring the steaks are evenly coated, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature. Pat them dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt.
Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and let it heat up until shimmering.
Add the filet mignon steaks to the pan, leaving space between each steak. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, ensuring a deep, golden-brown crust forms.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter to the pan. As the butter melts, spoon it over the steaks to baste them for an additional 1-2 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).
Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
