Ingredients
-
2
Filet Mignon steaks - 6/8 ounces each at room temperature
-
Salt and Black Pepper
-
1 tablespoon
Unsalted Butter
-
Fresh Rosemary and Thyme
Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Season the Steaks: Pat the filet mignon steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper. If desired, you can also add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme.
-
Sear the Steaks: Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in an oven-safe skillet. Once hot, add the filet mignon steaks and sear each side for about 2-3 minutes or until a golden crust forms.
-
Add Butter: Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, baste the steaks with the butter using a spoon. This helps to add flavor and keeps the steaks moist.
-
Transfer to the Oven: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for about 5-10 minutes for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of your steaks. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for around 130°F (54°C).
-
Rest the Steaks: Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the steaks to a plate. Allow them to rest for a few minutes. This helps the juices redistribute, ensuring a juicy and tender steak.
-
Serve: Serve the filet mignon steaks whole or sliced, and drizzle with any remaining pan juices. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh herbs.
