Perfect Filet w/ Herbed Steak Butter - A Daisy Peach Original!

Posted on July 08 2023, By: Nancy Greene

Ingredients
- Three 8 oz. filets – No bacon
- ¾ of a stick of salted butter
- Salt and Pepper
- Olive Oil
- Granulated Garlic
- Chives
- Montreal Steak Seasoning

Directions

Steak Butter

The butter can be made days before you need it

  1. Take ½ a stick of butter and soften (I pop mine in the microwave for about 5-7 seconds).
  2. In a bowl combine the butter and (to taste) salt, pepper and chives, granulated garlic and Montreal Steak Seasoning. Get creative with your herbs and seasoning. Anything you like…you can add it!!
  3. Create a log of the butter in plastic wrap and cool in the fridge until ready to use.

Steaks

  1. Bring steaks to room temperature – About 30 minutes sitting on your counter
  2. Coat the bottom of an oven ready skillet (one you can use on the stove and the oven) on high.
  3. While heated, season one side of the filet with (to taste) salt, pepper, granulated garlic and Montreal Steak Seasoning
  4. Once the skillet is heated, place seasoned size down.
  5. Let seer for around 2 minutes. Be careful to not burn but you want the crust.
  6. While searing, season the other side.
  7. When a nice crust forms, flip the filets, put the other ¼ stick of butter in the skillet (divided) and immediately put the entire skillet into a 375 degree oven.
  8. We like ours medium rare so we usually cook ours for about 9 minutes in the oven.
  9. USE A MEAT THERMOMETER.
  10. Medium rare should read about 140 degrees internally
  11. When they reach your desired temp, remove the skillet from the oven (THE HANDLE IS HOT!!!!)
  12. Remove the steaks from the skillet and place on a clean plate.
  13. Put a pat of steak butter on the top of each filet and cover the plate with aluminum foil
  14. Let rest for 6-8 minutes
