Remove steaks from fridge and let sit in room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
2 5 oz filet mignon steaks
Preheat your oven to 400° Fahrenheit.
Season steak with salt and pepper on both sides.
¾ teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper
Heat up a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes.
Add butter to the pan, let it melt slightly, add steak immediately. Sear for 2 minutes per side. Occasionally, baste it with melted butter.
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Place the pan with filet mignon in the oven and set timer to 5 minutes. Once the time is up, remove pan from the oven and place steaks on a cutting board or a plate. Let the meat sit for 5 minutes before serving and slicing.
Notes
Instructions are the same for bacon-wrapped or unwrapped steaks.
To make roasted veggies seen in the photo: chop yellow onion, bell pepper, zucchini, and mushrooms and roast them in the air fryer for 10 minutes at 380 degrees F.
My steaks were 2″ thick. After 4 minutes total in the pan and 5 minutes in the oven, my steaks were medium-rare.
You want to remove the meat from the oven while it’s still 5 degrees below the desired temperature as it will finish cooking while resting.
