Succulent Oven-Baked Filet Mignon with Garlic Butter

Ingredients

- 4 pieces of Filet Mignon (approximately 6 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black Pepper, to taste
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh Parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (approximately 200°C).

2. Prepare the Filet Mignon:
- Remove filet mignon from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.
- Pat dry with paper towels, and then generously season both sides with salt and black pepper.

3. Sear the Filets:
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the filet mignon to the skillet. Sear each side for about 2-3 minutes until a nice crust forms.

4. Prepare the Garlic Butter:
- While the steak sears, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Add minced garlic and simmer for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the chopped parsley and remove from heat.

5. Oven Baking:
- Pour half of the garlic butter over the filets in the skillet.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes for medium-rare doneness, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (use a meat thermometer for accuracy).

6. Rest and Serve:
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the steaks rest in the skillet for 5 minutes.
- Drizzle over the remaining garlic butter before serving.
- Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
