  • 2 cups of sliced mushrooms
  • 4 tablespoons of butter
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • olive oil

Garlic and herb butter:

  • ½ stick of butter
  • ½ Tablespoon of fresh rosemary
  • ½ Tablespoon fresh thyme
  • ¼ tsp. Garlic powder or minced garlic

Instructions

Garlic & Herb Butter

  1. Soften the butter in the microwave just a little. Stir in herbs and garlic until fully mixed.

Butter Roasted Mushrooms

  1. Add 2 Tablespoons of plain butter and a drizzle of olive oil for cast iron skillet on med-low heat.
  2. Add mushrooms once butter is melted and sprinkle with garlic powder and salt.
  3. Cook about 5 mins stirring occasionally, or until tender. Set aside.

Filet Mignon

  1. Preheat the oven to 415° F.
  2. Remove steak from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking, this is to bring the steak to room temperature and ensure your cooking times are more accurate.
  3. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Add the olive oil and plain butter to your cast iron skillet and turn up to med-high heat.
  5. Place the filets face down and sear for 2 minutes. Do not move it during those two mins. Flip the fillets and sear for an additional 2 minutes. This will give your filets a nice seared edge.
  6. Transfer your skillet directly to the oven.
    For rare, bake for 4-5 minutes.
    Medium rare, 5-6 minutes.
    Medium, 6-7 minutes.
    (If your filets are thinner, cook time may be shorter.)
  7. Remove filets from the skillet and set on a plate, lightly cover with tin foil and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
  8. Top with mushrooms and a dollop of garlic and herb butter, and serve.
