Cook for 2 minutes then flip and cook another 2 minutes, this gives the Filets a nice brown sear. Place pan in the oven and cook for 7-8 minutes or until desired doneness. Using a meat thermometer you can check the temp. Rare - 120-125F, medium rare - 130-135F, medium - 140-145F, medium well - 150-155F and well done - 160-165F.

PERFECT FILET MIGNON RECIPE

Steps:

• Remove your filet mignon from the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. (This will ensure even cooking.)
• Mash together half of the butter (1 tablespoon, 14 g), rosemary, thyme, and garlic. (Sprinkle in a little sea salt if using unsalted butter.) Form into a log and refrigerate until the last step.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).
• Trim any connective tissue around the edges of the beef tenderloins. Season the filets liberally with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
• Heat the cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, until the skillet is very hot. Melt the remaining butter (1 tablespoon, 14 g) in the skillet.
• Add the filets. Sear for 2 minutes on each side, without moving them around.
• Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake to desired level of doneness. (I recommend medium rare.) For a 2 in (5 cm)thick filet, that is 5 minutes for rare, 6 minutes for medium rare, 7 minutes for medium, or 8 minutes for medium well. Use a meat thermometer to check for the right temperature - 120 degrees F (52 degrees C) for rare, 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium rare, 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium, and 155 degrees F (68 degrees C) for medium well. The temperature will rise by another 5 degrees F while resting (see next step).
• Remove the filets from the oven and transfer to a plate. Top each with 1/2 tablespoon (7 g) of herb butter (slice the log of herb butter into four parts and put one on each steak). Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before cutting.

FILET WITH ROASTED GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the garlic cloves in a small ovenproof dish. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with foil and roast in the oven until the garlic is golden and soft, about 45 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.
• To a large bowl, add the softened butter, parsley, chives, thyme, red pepper and the roasted garlic. Using a spatula, mix everything together until well combined. Lay out a large piece of plastic wrap and add the butter in a long strip down the middle. Pull one side of the plastic wrap over the butter and gently form it into a log. Tightly twist the ends like a candy wrapper, until everything is nice and tight. Transfer to the fridge for a couple hours to harden. (Butter can be made ahead; it will keep for 1 week in the fridge.)
• When you are ready to cook the steaks, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the steaks liberally with salt and pepper. Add the remaining tablespoon each olive oil and butter to an ovenproof skillet and place over a medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and the butter is melted, place the steaks in the skillet and cook until well browned, about 1 minute per side.
• Place the skillet in the oven and cook the steaks for 4 to 5 minutes for medium-rare. Remove from the oven and top each steak with a thick slice of the garlic butter. Loosely cover with foil and allow to rest for 8 to 10 minutes.
