Girl, let me tell you about this mouth-watering Pan-Seared Filet Mignon with Garlic Herb Butter that’ll have your dinner guests thinking you secretly attended culinary school! This recipe is absolutely to die for, and I’m spilling all the tea on how to make this restaurant-quality dish right in your kitchen.
Trust me, I’ve experimented with countless steak recipes, but this one? _chef’s kiss_ It’s the perfect combination of tender meat, rich flavors, and that butter sauce… oh my goodness, the butter sauce! 🤤
Here’s what you’ll need (serving 4):
– 4 filet mignon steaks (about 6 oz each)
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 4 garlic cloves, minced
– Fresh thyme and rosemary
– Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Optional: a glass of wine for the chef (wink wink)
Now, let’s get cooking, bestie!
1. Take your steaks out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking (cold meat is NOT the move).
2. Pat those babies dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
3. Heat your cast-iron skillet until it’s smoking hot (like your ex’s DMs, am I right? 😉)
4. Add olive oil and carefully place your steaks in the pan.

1. Sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
2. Add butter, garlic, and herbs to the pan.
3. Tilt the pan slightly and baste the steaks with the melted butter mixture.
4. Let them rest for 5-10 minutes (patience is key, honey!)
Serve these gorgeous steaks with roasted potatoes and asparagus, and watch your dinner guests’ jaws drop! I usually pair this with a bold red wine, but you do you!
Pro tip: Save that heavenly garlic herb butter from the pan and drizzle it over everything. Seriously, I’d drink it if I could (but maybe that’s just me being extra 💁♀️).
Y’all, this recipe never fails to impress, and it’s actually way easier than it looks. If I can do it while dancing to Taylor Swift in my kitchen, you absolutely can too!
