Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the dried porcini mushrooms and pulse until finely ground. In a bowl, mix the ground porcini with chopped thyme, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the softened butter, black truffle oil, chives, and parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated. Transfer the compound butter onto a sheet of plastic wrap, shape it into a log, and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Season the filet mignon steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Once the oil is hot, add the steaks to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms.
- Once seared, remove the skillet from heat. Press the porcini mushroom mixture firmly onto the top of each steak to form an even crust.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 6-10 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130°F for medium-rare).
- Once cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from the oven. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving. Slice the chilled truffle butter into medallions and place atop each filet mignon just before serving.
Notes
Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
