Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 2 6-oz. filet mignon (about 2 inches thick)
  • 1 Tbsp. avocado oil (or olive oil)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Coarse ground pepper (to taste)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Salt and pepper filets liberally on both sides.  (This helps them get a crusty sear!)  Let filets sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Once oven is heated to temperature add oil to a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Wait until oil is sizzling to add filets. Cook steaks for 2 ½ minutes per side without moving. Sear the remaining sides for 1 minute total.
  • Add skillet with steaks to the preheated oven and cook for 4-5 minutes. Using a meat thermometer measure the temperature of the steaks in the thickest portion to determine doneness.*
  • Serve filet mignon steaks with garlic herb butter or caramelized onions and enjoy!
