Ingredients
Instructions
-
Allow the filet mignon steaks to come to room temperature. Season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper, pressing the seasoning into the meat.
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the seasoned filet mignon steaks to the skillet carefully. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare or adjust to preferred doneness.
-
Add minced garlic and butter to the skillet as the steaks cook. Allow butter to melt and garlic to become fragrant. Spoon the butter mixture over the steaks to baste them.
-
Check the internal temperature for medium-rare at 130°F (54°C) using a meat thermometer. Remember steaks will continue to cook slightly while resting.
-
Remove steaks from skillet and let rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
-
Slice the filet mignon steaks against the grain. Arrange on plates and top with remaining garlic butter from the skillet. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
