Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 (8-ounce) beef tenderloins or filet mignon steaks
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Add the butter to a small cast-iron skillet that is just slightly bigger than the steaks on high heat.
- Season the steaks all over with the salt and pepper.
- Sear the steaks on each side until browned, about 3 minutes each.
- Carefully place the seared steaks, still in the skillet, into the oven and cook until a thermometer inserted into the center reaches the desired doneness, 125 degrees F and about 4 minutes for rare, 140 degrees F and about 5-6 minutes for medium, and 160 degrees F and about 7-10 minutes for well done.
- Transfer the cooked steaks from the oven and place them on a plate covered with foil. Allow the steaks to rest for 10 minutes.
- Serve.
