Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 filet mignon steaks, each about 8 ounces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • High-heat cooking oil (like safflower or avocado oil), for brushing

Instructions

  • Step 1 – Allow steaks to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat dry and rub each steak with olive oil, then season evenly with salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
  • Step 2 – Set your oven’s broiler to high and let it heat up for at least 5 minutes. Place an oven-proof skillet (preferably cast iron) in the oven to preheat along with the broiler.
  • Step 3 – Remove the hot skillet from the oven (carefully, as it will be extremely hot). Place the seasoned steaks in the skillet, then return to the oven. Broil for about 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preferred doneness.
  • Step 4 – After broiling, transfer the steaks to a plate and dot each with a tablespoon of butter. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
  • Step 5 – Serve the steaks with your choice of sides, such as creamy mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, or sautéed spinach.
