Perfect Filet Mignon

PERFECT FILET MIGNON😍

Still looking for that perfect Valentine’s Day meal that you don’t have to spend 5 hours in the kitchen for (seriously, it’s on a Thursday who has time for that)? Then look no further than this PERFECT Filet Mignon that’s done in 15 minutes 😍 seriously, I feel like I should have a Geico catchphrase with how easy this is to make!

Ingredients:

For the Filet Mignon:

• 2 filet mignon steaks

• 2-3 tbsps cold butter

• 3 cloves garlic (unpeeled)

• Few sprigs of rosemary and thyme

• 1 tbsp high smoke point oil (avocado or vegetable)

Instructions:

For the Filet Mignon Steak:

• Get a cast iron nice and hot.

• Drizzle some neutral oil with a high smoke point (avocado oil, vegetable oil, etc.) into the pan until almost smoking.

• Season your filets with salt and pepper.

• Place into the oil, making sure you hear that sizzle sound when the steak hits the pan.

• Sear on high for 5-7 minutes until you get that great crust, and flip searing the other side for about 5 minutes (depending on thickness of the steak). [For thinner steaks, sear for 2-3 minutes per side]

• With 2 minutes to go, throw in butter, garlic, and rosemary and thyme.

• Turn off the heat and baste the steaks with the butter for about 1 minute, placing the herbs and garlic on top of the steak while doing so.

• Take the steaks off the heat and let rest on a wire rack for about 5 minutes.

Serve with mashed or roasted potatoes and veggie of your choice 😋 nothing like impressing a loved one with a perfectly cooked Filet Mignon 😍
