• Learn how to cook this elegant main course option from home. Just a little bit of patience and a few simple ingredients you'll have a perfect steak that will get rave reviews.
• Olive oil- you want to use a high smoke point oil, avocado oil is also great.

Recipe Tips

• I recommend using fresh herbs but dried herbs will work too
• Make sure you let your beef tenderloin come to room temperature before placing it in a hot skillet.
• Use a safe cast iron skillet or stainless steel skillet to get the highest heat for the searing and forming the best crust.
• Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
• Your steak will continue to cook and the temperature will rise about another 5 degrees as it rest.
• The size of the steak will change the cooking time. Thinner steaks will cook much faster.

Recipe FAQ's

What is filet mignon?

It's a steak that's cut from the tenderloin. Beef tenderloin is the most tender cut of beef. It can range in all different thicknesses. The best way to cook a filet is in a hot pan and often finished in the oven.

What is garlic herb butter?

The garlic butter is such a perfect combo to top this filet off with. You could use half of the butter, depending on how many steaks you make. Or make myCompound butter and freeze it so you always have it on hand. So many endless possibilities with what you can add to this butter to make it even more delicious!

What if I dont have an oven-safe skillet?

Use the best skillet you have to achieve the pan-seared effect and then transfer the steak to an oven-safe baking dish to finish cooking.

How do you store and reheat leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. To reheat: Cut the steak into slices and heat a skillet on medium-high heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of plain butter and cook just until heated through.

How do I know when my steak is done?

I highly recommend using a digital meat thermometer to know when you've reached your desired doneness.

Rare - 120-125F
medium rare - 130-135F
medium - 140-145F,
medium well - 150-155F
well done - 160-165F
