Ingredients

  • 4 6-ounce filet mignon steaks
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and generously season both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Once the oil begins to shimmer and nearly reaches the smoking point, carefully place the steaks in the skillet. Sear the filets without moving them for about 5 minutes until a rich, golden-brown crust forms. Flip the steaks and immediately add the butter and chopped rosemary to the pan.
  • Tilt the skillet slightly and begin basting the steaks with the melted herb-infused butter, using a spoon to coat them thoroughly. Continue cooking for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the desired doneness.
  • Transfer the entire skillet to the preheated oven and roast for roughly 5 minutes for medium doneness. For greater precision, use a meat thermometer before oven-finishing: if the internal temperature is within 10°F of your target, reduce oven time accordingly. If more time is needed, check frequently in short intervals to avoid overcooking.
  • Once done, remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes on a cutting board before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender, flavorful results.
