Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 steaks (6 ounces each) Filet mignon
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Parsley
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature. This ensures even cooking.
Season each steak generously on all sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2-3 minutes.
Place the steaks in the hot skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms.
Add the unsalted butter, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet. Tilt the pan slightly and spoon the melted butter and aromatics over the steaks for 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Cook the steaks in the oven for 5-7 minutes for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C). Adjust cook time slightly depending on desired doneness.
Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the steaks to a plate. Tent them with foil and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
Meanwhile, mix the chopped parsley and lemon zest in a small bowl for garnish.
Serve the filet mignon hot, topped with a spoonful of the infused butter and aromatics from the skillet. Garnish with the parsley-lemon zest mixture and enjoy!
