    Title: Filet Mignon
    Categories: Five, Beef
    Yield: 4 servings

    4 (6 oz ea) filet mignon
    - steaks; patted dry
    Salt
    1 tb Oil
    2 tb Unsalted butter
    1 ts Coarse ground black pepper

    Season the steaks generously all over with salt. (You
    can season and refrigerate the steaks uncovered up to 24
    hours ahead.)

    Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium. Add the oil
    and swirl to coat, then add the steaks and cook,
    flipping every minute, until crusty and browned, 6 to 8
    minutes total.

    Add the butter and black pepper. Tilt the pan and use a
    spoon to baste the steaks with the butter for 1 minute.
    Flip the steaks. Continue to baste and flip every

    pour over the pan drippings and let rest for 5 minutes
    before serving.
