Ingredients
  

  • 2 filet mignon steaks
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1-2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme
  • 1 garlic clove smashed

Instructions
 

  • Bring steaks to room temperature for 30-45 minutes before cooking. Preheat your oven to 250-275°F.
  • Pat steaks dry and season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
  • Place the steaks on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the oven for 30-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 110-115°F for medium-rare.
  • Remove steaks from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes.
  • While the steaks rest, heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot.
  • Add olive oil to the skillet. Once shimmering, add the steaks. Sear each side for 45-60 seconds.
  • During the last 30 seconds, add butter, smashed garlic, and herbs to the pan. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks as they finish searing.
  • Remove from the skillet and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
