After pigging out on Latino food all day on Nochebuena, we changed it up on Christmas Day with Filet Mignon and Spicy Rock Shrimp Macaroni and Cheese. This cut of beef is softer and lower in fat than other cuts and just needs to be simply seasoned with salt and pepper to let the delicious caramelized taste of the beef shine through.
1 inch thick Filet Mignon steaks (1 1/2 steaks per hungry person)
1 tablespoon Butter
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
Kosher salt and Black pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and remove steaks from refrigerator to allow them to become room temperature. Season generously on both sides with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Heat pan over high heat until very hot quickly add butter and oil and lower to medium high heat.
Sear both sides of steaks for 2 to 3 minutes until crust forms.
Finish cooking in oven approximately 5 minutes. These steaks were only one inch think so if thicker cuts adjust cooking time longer from medium/medium well.
