Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6-8 oz each) filet mignon steaks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 sprig (chopped) fresh rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and ground black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the filet mignon steaks in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are well-coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.
Preheat a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add butter to the skillet and let it melt, swirling the pan to coat the surface.
Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. Discard the marinade. Season the steaks lightly with kosher salt on both sides.
Place the steaks in the hot skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side to achieve a golden-brown crust.
Lower the heat to medium and continue cooking the steaks to your desired level of doneness (approximately 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness). Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (125°F for medium-rare, 135°F for medium).
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the marinated filet mignon immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
