Easy Filet Mignon

Serving Size: 2

Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 2 Mariposa Ranch filet mignon steaks
• 1 Tbsp. avocado oil or olive oil
• Salt to taste
• Coarse ground pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Salt and pepper filets liberally on both sides.  (This helps them get a crusty sear!)  Let the filets sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
3. Once the oven is heated to temperature add oil to a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Wait until the oil is sizzling to add filets. Cook steaks for 2 ½ minutes per side without moving. Sear the remaining sides for 1 minute total.
4. Add cast-iron skillet with steaks to the preheated oven and cook for 4-5 minutes. Using a meat thermometer measure the temperature of the steaks in the thickest portion to determine doneness.*
5. Serve filet mignon steaks with garlic herb butter or caramelized onions and enjoy!
