Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Petite Tender Beef Filets (about 6-8 ounces each)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Equipment

  • Skillet or frying pan:
  • Tongs or Spatula
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board:

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Petite Tender Beef Filets:
    Take the beef filets out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes. This helps them cook more evenly.
  2. Season the Beef Filets:
    Pat the beef filets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat the Skillet:
    Heat the olive oil in a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it's hot but not smoking.
  4. Sear the Beef Filets:
    Carefully place the seasoned beef filets in the hot skillet. Let them sear without moving them for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer your steak more well-done. Use tongs or a spatula to flip them halfway through.
  5. Add Flavorings:
    In the last minute of cooking, add the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme leaves to the skillet. Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to baste the beef filets with the melted butter and aromatic herbs.
  6. Rest and Serve:
    Once the beef filets are cooked to your desired level of doneness, transfer them to a plate and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and tender steak.
  7. Serve:
    Serve the Petite Tender Beef Filets hot, accompanied by your favorite side dishes such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad.
