Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Beef fillet
• 2 tablespoons Black peppercorns, coarsely ground
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Remove the beef fillets from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the coarsely ground black peppercorns, rosemary, thyme, and garlic together with the kosher salt.

Step 3

Pat the beef fillets dry with paper towels and rub all sides of each fillet with olive oil.

Step 4

Press the herb and pepper mixture evenly onto the surface of each fillet, covering all sides. Press firmly so the coating adheres.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 6

In a heavy ovenproof skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Step 7

Carefully place the encrusted fillets into the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms.

Step 8

Lower the heat slightly and add the butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt. Spoon the melted butter over the fillets as they cook.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 5-8 minutes for medium-rare, or until the desired level of doneness is reached.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the fillets to a cutting board. Tent with aluminum foil and let rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 11

Garnish the fillets with fresh parsley before serving. Serve immediately with your choice of sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
