Description

A luxurious Garlic Butter Filet Mignon recipe that combines tender filet mignon with rich garlic butter for a memorable dining experience.


Ingredients

  • Filet Mignon Steaks: 2 (about 6-8 oz each)
  • Garlic: 4 cloves, minced
  • Unsalted Butter: 4 tablespoons
  • Fresh Herbs: 2 tablespoons, chopped (such as thyme or rosemary)
  • Salt: to taste
  • Black Pepper: to taste
  • Olive Oil: 1 tablespoon (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filet mignon by letting it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes and patting it dry.
  2. Season both sides of the steaks with salt and black pepper.
  3. Make the garlic butter by mixing minced garlic and unsalted butter in a bowl, then add chopped fresh herbs.
  4. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Sear the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low, add the garlic butter mixture, and baste the steaks for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  6. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Choose well-marbled filet mignon for better flavor and juiciness.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (130°F for medium-rare).
  • Let the steaks rest after cooking to ensure juiciness.
