Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and wrap in aluminum foil. Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes, until the cloves are soft and caramelized. Allow to cool slightly, then squeeze the cloves out of their skins into a small bowl.
- In a bowl, combine the softened butter, roasted garlic, truffle oil, and chopped chives. Mix until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt. Set aside.
- Pat the filet mignon steaks dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and press the coarsely crushed black peppercorns into both sides of each steak.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the filet mignon steaks to the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer to achieve your desired doneness.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.
- Top each filet mignon with a generous dollop of the truffle chive butter. Allow it to melt over the warm steak before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
