Ingredients
- 2 1-inch thick filet mignon
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ¼ teaspoon herbs de Provence
Instructions
- Place your two filets on a small plate and let them sit at room temperature for thirty minutes. Room temperature steaks will cook more evenly.
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
- Dry the steaks with a paper towel and then sprinkle them with the sea salt.
- Add the olive oil to a large cast iron skillet. Heat the pan over medium high heat for about two minutes.
- Use a pair of tongs to carefully place the filets in the hot oil. Sear the steaks for two minutes to make a nice, golden brown crust.
- Flip the steaks then top each with a tablespoon of butter. Sprinkle the herbs de provence over the filets.
- Remove the cast iron skillet from the stovetop and place it into the preheated oven. Cook the steaks for 3-6 minutes depending on your desired done-ness (see the notes below for your perfect steak temperature).
- Serve the steaks immediately while still hot.
