Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, white miso paste, grated ginger, honey, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- Transfer the mixture to a piece of plastic wrap and shape it into a log. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your grill or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Season the filet mignon steaks with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. Drizzle olive oil over the steaks.
- Place the green parts of the scallions on the grill or skillet and cook until charred and wilted, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and chop finely.
- Once the grill or skillet is hot, place the seasoned filet mignon steaks on it. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side for medium-rare, then flip.
- During the last minute of cooking, generously sprinkle the charred scallions and lime zest over the top of each steak to create a crust.
- Remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes. Slice the compound butter into rounds and place on top of each filet mignon just before serving.
- Serve the filet mignon with your choice of sides and extra lime wedges for squeezing.
Notes
For added flavor, consider marinating the steaks for a few hours before cooking. Adjust the seasonings to your taste.
