Cooked a Filet Mignion tonight

Forgot to take pics during the process, only remembered while chewing down

First step was to bring the steaks closer to room temp, let them sit out about 30-45 minutes. Towards the end of this, got a cast iron skillet screaming hot with a bit of olive oil. Had to take this outside grill burner due to the smoke produced.

Seasoned the steaks up with a light coat of EVOO on one side then liberally with kosher salt and cracked pepper. Put the filet on the hot skillet, 4 min per side. This put a nice crust on the outside. Got the oven preheated to 275 and put them in there for 9-12 minutes.

Finally, stuck them back in the cast iron skillet outside with knob of butter, garlic, and rosemary sprigs. Took a spoon and basted the filets with the butter mixture for about 2.5 minutes. Plated the steaks and let rest for 10 minutes.

Came out really tender and a wonderful crust on the outside. Nothing groundbreaking here but thought I'd share
