  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter

  • 1 cup fresh thyme
  • 3 cloves kosher salt
  • 1 tsp coarse black pepper
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • to taste good finishing oil
Method

Step by step

  1. Pat the filet mignon dry and season it well so it browns instead of steaming.
  2. Get your pan hot and render the aromatics until they smell sweet and toasty.
  3. Return the filet mignon, add just enough liquid, and simmer until everything is tender.
  4. Taste, brighten with a squeeze of citrus, and plate while it is still hot.
