Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 filet mignon steaks (1.5 inches thick)
  • Coarse salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme (chopped)

  3. In a bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic and chopped herbs until well combined.
  4. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat; sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes for medium-rare doneness.
  6. Remove from the oven and top each steak with garlic herb butter; let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
