Cookware:

Food Prep :
Remove the filet mignon steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Season the filet mignon steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until it is smoking hot.
Let’s Put it Together:
Add the olive oil to the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.
Add the filet mignon steaks to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until a crust forms.
Add the butter, garlic, thyme, and rosemary to the skillet.
Use a spoon to baste the filet mignon steaks with the butter mixture for about 1 minute.
Altitude Guidelines:
At high altitudes, water boils at a lower temperature, for every 500 feet above sea level, water boils at approximately 1 degree Fahrenheit lower than at sea level.. A good rule of thumb is to add an additional 30 seconds of cooking time for every 1,000 feet above sea level.
Safety Recommendations
Safety first! When cooking with an open flame or using a stove or oven, it is important to practice fire safety. Keep flammable materials away from the heat source, and never leave cooking food unattended. Make sure to have a fire extinguisher nearby and know how to use it. In case of a fire, call 911 immediately.
