Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 (6-ounce) beef tenderloin steak
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • ½ tablespoon butter

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a small oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil for 30 seconds. Pat the steak dry with a paper towel and sprinkle both sides of the beef with salt and pepper.
  • Place beef in the skillet and sear on both sides, about 4 minutes per side.
  • Transfer steak (still in the skillet) to the oven and bake for 5 minutes.
  • Remove steak when a meat thermometer inserted in the center reads 125°F (for rare), 130°F (for medium-rare), 140°F (for medium).
  • Add butter to the top of the steak and cover with aluminum foil. Let steak rest for 5 minutes before cutting.
