  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Filet Mignon steaks (1 inch thick)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup red apple vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 teaspoons shallots, minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic cloves, minced
  • Fresh parsley or chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Let the filet mignon steaks sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. In a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil until shimmering. Sear steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
  3. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and transfer the skillet to the oven. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until desired doneness is reached.
  4. While steaks bake, melt butter in another pan over medium heat. Sauté shallots and garlic until fragrant (about 2 minutes), then add red apple vinegar and simmer until slightly reduced (about 5 minutes).
  5. Remove steaks from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with red apple vinegar sauce and garnish with chopped parsley or chives.
