Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 ounces each) filet mignon steaks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 3 large cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the filet mignon steaks in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for best results.
While the steaks marinate, prepare the flavored butter. In a medium bowl, mix the softened unsalted butter with chopped parsley, lemon zest, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
Transfer the flavored butter to a sheet of plastic wrap, form it into a log, and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil.
Remove the steaks from the marinade, pat them dry with paper towels, and cook each side for 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or longer to your desired level of doneness.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for 5-7 minutes to retain their juices.
Slice the chilled flavored butter into rounds and place one on each steak just before serving, allowing it to melt slightly.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted potatoes or steamed vegetables.
