Ingredients

• 2 pieces (6-8 oz each) filet mignon steaks
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 1 sprig (chopped) fresh rosemary
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and ground black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the filet mignon steaks in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 3

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.

Step 4

Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.

Step 5

Preheat a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add butter to the skillet and let it melt, swirling the pan to coat the surface.

Step 6

Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. Discard the marinade. Season the steaks lightly with kosher salt on both sides.

Step 7

Place the steaks in the hot skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side to achieve a golden-brown crust.

Step 8

Lower the heat to medium and continue cooking the steaks to your desired level of doneness (approximately 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness). Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (125°F for medium-rare, 135°F for medium).

Step 9

Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 10

Serve the marinated filet mignon immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
