Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, black truffle oil, chives, parsley, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Transfer the mixture onto a piece of parchment paper and roll it into a log. Twist the ends to seal. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Remove the filet mignon steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Generously season both sides of the steaks with coarse sea salt and cracked black pepper, pressing the seasoning into the meat.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the seasoned filet mignon steaks to the skillet. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the steaks for 5-7 minutes for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (130°F for medium-rare).
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the steaks rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Slice the chilled truffle compound butter into rounds. Place a piece on top of each filet mignon just before serving, allowing it to melt over the warm steak.
- Serve the filet mignon with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
Notes
For added flavor, consider serving with a side of red wine.
