Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, prepared horseradish, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Transfer the mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap, shape it into a log, and wrap tightly. Refrigerate until firm.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the filet mignon steaks on both sides with salt and black pepper. Rub the calamansi juice over each steak, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the cracked fennel seeds over the top of the steaks, pressing gently to adhere.
- In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned filet mignon steaks to the skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the steaks for an additional 5-7 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust the time according to your preferred doneness.
- Remove the steaks from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes. Slice the chilled horseradish-dill butter into rounds and place a piece on top of each filet mignon just before serving.
Notes
For an extra kick, consider adding a dash of hot sauce to the horseradish-dill butter.
