Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the unpeeled garlic cloves on a piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with a little olive oil, and wrap tightly. Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until soft.
- Once the garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze the cloves out of their skins into a bowl. Add the softened butter, chopped chives, and balsamic vinegar. Mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the sliced shallots and a drizzle of olive oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and charred, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Season the filet mignon steaks generously with salt and black pepper. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the black truffle oil.
- Once the oil is hot, sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, add the charred shallots back to the skillet to warm them through.
- Place the seared filet mignon on a plate, top with the charred shallots, and add a generous dollop of the roasted garlic and chive confit butter on top. Garnish with fresh rosemary and serve immediately.
Notes
Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
