Ingredients
Scale
2 filet mignon steaks (6–8 ounces each)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
Instructions
Step 1 – Preheat your oven to 275°F. Season the filet mignon steaks generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Step 2 – Place the steaks on a baking sheet and slow-cook in the oven for 20-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (refer to the temperature chart).
Step 3 – While the steaks are in the oven, heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add vegetable oil and let it get very hot.
Step 4 – Once the steaks are done in the oven, sear them in the hot skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side, until a golden-brown crust forms.
Step 5 – Add the butter, garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet. Baste the steaks with the melted butter and herbs for about 1 minute.
Step 6 – Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
