Ingredients
- 4 6-oz steaks filet mignon steaks
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 whole cloves garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary sprigs
Directions
Step 1
Remove the filet mignon steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme to create the seasoning rub.
Step 3
Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and generously rub both sides with the seasoning mix. Press the rub into the meat to ensure it adheres.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 5
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to shimmer before placing the steaks in the pan.
Step 6
Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side to create a golden brown crust.
Step 7
Add unsalted butter, garlic cloves, and rosemary sprigs to the skillet. Baste the steaks with the melted butter using a spoon for 1-2 minutes.
Step 8
Transfer the skillet with the steaks to the preheated oven. Roast for 4-6 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust based on your preferred doneness.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the steaks to a cutting board. Tent them loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 5-7 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
Step 10
Serve the filet mignon immediately, garnished with the roasted garlic and rosemary, alongside your favorite sides.
