Ingredients:

  • 6g green tea bbq seasonings
  • 2 filet mignon steaks (about 8 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

Prepare the Steaks:

  • Start by seasoning your filet mignon steaks with the green tea bbq seasonings, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

Heat the Pan:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.

Sear the Steaks:

  • Add the filet mignon steaks to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until a nice crust forms. This will help lock in the juices and flavor.

Add Aromatics:

  • Add the minced garlic and dried thyme to the skillet, and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Add Butter:

  • Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the skillet, and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter and garlic mixture. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the steaks reach your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should be around 130-135°F (54-57°C).

Rest the Steaks:

  • Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board or plate for 5-7 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and juicy steak.

Garnish and Serve:

  • Transfer the filet mignon steaks to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

Enjoy Your Filet Mignon:

  • Serve your delicious filet mignon as a hearty main course. The combination of tender, juicy steaks, infused with the unique flavors of green tea bbq seasonings and the rich garlic butter mixture, creates a delightful and satisfying meal. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a romantic dinner. Enjoy!
