Instructions
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, combine the smoked sea salt and dried oregano. Mix well.
- Pat the filet mignon steaks dry with paper towels. Drizzle olive oil over both sides of the steaks, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Generously rub the smoked sea salt and oregano mixture onto both sides of the steaks, pressing it in to adhere.
- Once the grill or skillet is hot, place the steaks on it. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (130°F for medium-rare).
- While the steaks are cooking, prepare the pomegranate-balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine pomegranate juice, balsamic vinegar, and honey. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture has reduced to a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Once the steaks are done, remove them from the grill or skillet and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
- Slice the filet mignon and drizzle the pomegranate-balsamic glaze over the top.
- Garnish with fresh pomegranate seeds and oregano leaves before serving.
Notes
For a spicier glaze, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes.
