Succulent Filet Mignon Perfected with Reverse Searing
Recipe
Ingredients:
2 filet mignon steaks, 1.5 inches thick
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic, smashed
2 tablespoons butter
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
Place the steaks on a wire rack over a baking sheet. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of one steak.
Cook in the oven until the internal temperature reaches about 95°F (35°C) for rare or 105°F (41°C) for medium-rare, about 25-30 minutes.
As the steaks cook, preheat a heavy skillet over high heat. Add olive oil.
Once the steaks reach the desired temperature, remove from the oven.
Sear steaks in the hot skillet, adding the butter, garlic, and thyme to the pan. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms.
Baste the steaks with butter continuously while searing.
Remove from heat, let rest for 5-7 minutes, and serve immediately.
