This Filet Mignon with Garlic Herb Butter is easy and taste absolutely phenomenal!
This Filet Mignon with Garlic Herb Butter absolutely melts in your mouth. Cooking it in a hot pan and finishing it in the oven will give you the best filet you ever had. So easy to do, super tender, flavorful and delicious!
Cast iron skillets are the best for this steak, because it get so hot and gives them such a great sear. They are fairly cheap and will last forever this is the one I have. The garlic herb butter is such a perfect combo to top this filet off with.
My love for Filet Mignon is strong! I mean it just melts in your mouth. The very reason why it is so dang expensive, So it is a huge treat when we have it.
You could cut the garlic herb butter in half, depending on how many steaks you make. Or just keep it in the fridge and use another time.
So many endless possibilities with what you can add to this butter to make it even more delicious!
This Garlic Herb Butter is fantastic on anything really, just keep it in your fridge and give it a try on beef, chicken or veggies. It’s amazing on my Easy Sheet Pan Lemon Herb Chicken.

What number on the stove do you consider hot for the 2 minutes? Mine goes up to a 9? Also, how long in the oven for medium steak cooked pink through?
Every stove/oven is a little different. I would get your skillet as hot as you can. And start with 7-8 minutes in the oven like the recipe states then check the temp of the meat, add another minute or two if you want it cooked more. Hope this helps Angie 🙂
Absolutely perfect! Moved this up to number one on my list offillet recipes . Probably the result of oven variances, but cooked in oven for 9 1/2 minutes. Great medium rare !
Thank you!
Oh you’re so welcome Guy! I’m so glad you loved it. 🙂
Ok..i might sound dumb but i don’t get the oven temp. It says to pre heat to 400 f but then says to bake no higher then 155 f. Please explain. Thank you
Those temps are for the doneness you prefer your steak to be. 150-155F is medium well. Hope this helps Dawn 🙂
Wow! The Garlic Herb Butter really sets this off! One of THE BEST steaks I’ve ever made. I tried this recipe and it gave the steak so much more dimension. I had to call my dad and tell him about it. 🙂
Oh yay Ron! So glad you loved it. It really does take it to another level. Thanks for coming back here and sharing with me 🙂
I can’t stand the taste or smell of olives. It also has a vary low smoke point. I used canola oil and it tasted great and no smoke detector went off. Otherwise this recipe works fine for me..
Yay Joe! I’m so glad you liked it 🙂
And being a Texan…I thought this could only be done in my outdoor grill! Excellente^
What a compliment from a true Texan Tman! Thank you for coming back her to let me know 🙂
