Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the caraway seeds until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- In a small bowl, combine the toasted caraway seeds, Meyer lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Season the filet mignon steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Press the caraway and lemon mixture onto the surface of the steaks to create an even crust.
- In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the filet mignon steaks and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until a golden crust forms.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 6-8 minutes for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.
- While the steaks are roasting, prepare the horseradish-chive butter. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with prepared horseradish and chopped chives until well combined. Set aside.
- Once the steaks are done, remove them from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Serve the filet mignon topped with a generous dollop of horseradish-chive butter and fresh lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
For a twist, consider adding a splash of white wine to the skillet before roasting for added flavor.
