Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 filet mignons
  • Kosher salt
  • Black pepper
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated on microplane
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • Few cracks of black pepper

Instruction

  • The crust needs to be prepared at least 3 hours ahead of time so make sure you have time planned. In a medium bowl, mix together all the crust ingredients together. Place on the center of a piece of plastic wrap and form into a log with the diameter about the same as your steaks. Wrap tighly and refrigerate. You can make this the day before or even freeze it.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Rub each side of the steaks with a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sear for 2 minutes per side. Transfer pan to the oven for 3 to 6 minutes, depending on temperature preference( I like to use a digital thermometer. Program it for 15 degress less than your desired temperature as it will continue to cook). Remove from oven.
  • Turn oven to broiler setting. Slice the crust mixture into four coin shapes and top each steak with one. Place under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, or until browned and crusty. Watch carefully as it can burn quickly. Let sit for 5 minutes before slicing.
