How to Make 5 Star Filet Mignon
- Pat the filet mignon dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet (or prepare your grill to medium-high heat).
- Sear the filet mignon for 3-4 minutes per side, until a deep brown crust forms. For grilling, aim for similar sear times.
- Reduce the heat to medium (or adjust grill temperature as needed).
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Add 2 sprigs of fresh thyme and 2 cloves of minced garlic to the butter.
- Tilt the pan and spoon the melted butter over the filet mignon for 5-7 minutes, basting frequently, until the internal temperature reaches 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare. (Use a meat thermometer for accuracy). For grilling, continue cooking, frequently basting with butter mixture, until desired doneness is reached.
- Remove the filet mignon from the skillet (or grill) and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your culinary masterpiece!
