Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, minced smoked garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture onto a piece of parchment paper, shape it into a log, and roll it tightly. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your grill or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Pat the filet mignon steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and the crushed black peppercorns.
- Brush the husked corn with olive oil and season with salt. Grill the corn for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and tender. Remove from the grill and let it cool slightly before cutting the kernels off the cob.
- Add a bit of oil to the skillet or grill. Once hot, carefully place the filet mignon steaks in the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on thickness. Use a meat thermometer for precision; aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C).
- Remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes.
- Slice the filet mignon and plate it alongside the charred sweet corn kernels. Top each steak with a slice of smoked garlic compound butter, allowing it to melt over the warm meat.
- Optionally, garnish with additional fresh parsley and serve with your favorite sides.
Notes
For a spicy kick, consider adding crushed red pepper flakes to the compound butter.
