Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 Richwood Meat filet mignon steaks about 6 to 8 ounces each
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves chopped

Method
 

Directions
  1. Remove the filet mignon steaks from the refrigerator 30 to 40 minutes before cooking so they can come closer to room temperature.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with the minced garlic, parsley, rosemary, and thyme until fully combined. Set aside.
  3. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, then season evenly with salt and black pepper.
  4. Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until very hot.
  5. Place the steaks in the hot skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on the first side without moving them.
  6. Turn the steaks and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes for medium-rare, or continue cooking to your preferred doneness.
  7. Transfer the steaks to a plate or cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes.
  8. Top each steak with a spoonful of garlic herb butter just before serving so it melts over the warm filet.
