Filet Mignon with Garlic Butter
Description
This Filet Mignon recipe uses four 4-6 ounce steaks seasoned with salt and pepper and seared in a heavy skillet with neutral oil. After browning, butter is added along with smashed garlic cloves and fresh rosemary sprigs. The butter melts and is spooned over the steaks to infuse them with rich flavor and aroma.
Following the sear, the steaks are transferred to a 450°F oven to reach medium doneness at 140°F internal temperature. Resting the steaks for five minutes allows juices to redistribute, resulting in a tender, succulent cut of beef with a crisp exterior and an herbaceous, buttery finish.
This straightforward approach highlights the filet mignon's natural tenderness complemented by the garlic butter sauce. Serve the steaks immediately, spooning the pan drippings over each for added flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 filet mignon 4-6 ounces each, steaks
- 1 1/2 tablespoons neutral flavored oil such as safflower oil, canola oil, grapeseed oil or peanut oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 garlic smashed, cloves
- 4 prigs rosemary fresh
Instructions
- Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Season the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat a heavy pan such as a cast iron skillet over high heat.

- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until browned.
- Add the butter to the pan. After the butter has melted, add the garlic and rosemary to the pan. Stir to combine.
- Spoon the butter mixture over the steaks. Insert a thermometer into the thickest part of one of the steaks. Place the meat in the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes or until the thermometer registers 140 degrees F for a medium steak.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes. Spoon the pan drippings over the steak, then serve immediately.
