Pan-Seared Filet Mignon Recipe

Preheat oven to 400° F.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil and melt herbed butter. Season room temperature steaks with salt and coarse black pepper. When butter is frothy and oil is just about to smoke, add steak. Using tongs sear the edges of the steak on both sides. Sear both sides of the steaks. Lay the steak away from you and sear 2 minutes on each side. Baste with butter while searing.

Transfer skillet to preheated oven and cook to your liking, about 5 minutes for medium. Tip: Check the temperature of meat before transferring to the oven to see how far you are from the desired temperature. You may need less time if you are about 10 degrees from desired temperature. Flip the steak over half way through the cook time.

Remove pan from oven, place steaks on a plate, cover with foil, let rest 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with an additional pat of butter and a sprig of rosemary.

In the bowl of a mini food processor add soften butter, herbs, and garlic. Process on high until well incorporated. Place a sheet of saran wrap on the counter top and place mixed butter down the center. Fold saran wrap over and roll. Should be 6 inches long and 1 inch wide. Twish ends of saran wrap and fold under. Chill until ready to use.
