Perfect Filet Mignon
Ingredients
- 2 filet mignon steaks (6 to 8 ounces each, about 2 inches thick)
- Salt and ground black pepper (to taste)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 5 cloves garlic peeled
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
Instructions
- Take the filet mignon steaks out of the refrigerator 30 to 60 minutes before cooking. Season with salt and pepper generously and let them sit at room temperature on a plate.
- Heat your oven to 360°F in preparation for cooking the steaks.
- Heat a medium cast iron skillet on high for 3 to 5 minutes. Add oil and sear the filet mignons for 2 to 3 minutes per side until they develop a nice crust. Remove the skillet from the heat immediately after searing.
- Place butter, garlic, and rosemary in the skillet with the steaks. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 2 to 10 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and place them on a plate. Cover loosely with foil and let them rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
