Ingredients
Scale
- 2 filet mignons
- Kosher Salt
- ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2-3 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
Instructions
- Take the filet mignon out of the fridge 30-60 minutes before cooking.
- Season generously with kosher salt and black pepper, and leave it to sit.
- Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).
- Heat a cast iron pan on high heat for 3-5 minutes. Once it is hot, add the oil carefully.
- Using tongs, place the filet mignon in the pan, salted side down.
- Sear for 2-3 minutes, seasoning the other side with kosher salt and pepper before cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until browned.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and add butter, garlic, and herbs to the pan.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for 4-7 minutes, depending on the thickness. Use a meat thermometer to check the thickest part and aim for 5 degrees below your desired doneness.
- Take it out of the oven, tent with foil for 2-5 minutes, baste with the butter, and serve.
Notes
Allowing the steaks to rest outside the fridge ensures even cooking.
For optimal flavor, use fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme.
Adjust cooking time based on steak thickness and preferred doneness.
