A delightful recipe for filet mignon, enhanced with a flavorful herb butter and cooked to perfection.
Combine the butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, and lemon zest in a bowl. Mix until well blended.
Chill the herb butter for a firmer texture, making it easier to slice.
Season the filet mignon generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 15 minutes after seasoning to enhance flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the skillet inside for even cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat until shimmering.
Use a cast iron skillet for even heat distribution and a perfect sear.
Sear the steaks in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until a golden crust forms.
Avoid moving the steaks while searing to achieve a consistent crust.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for 6-8 minutes for medium-rare.
Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
Top each steak with a slice of the prepared herb butter and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
