Ingredients

• 4 pieces Filet mignon steaks, 2 inches thick
• 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
• 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Canola oil or another high-heat oil

Directions

Step 1

Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature. Pat them dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Set aside.

Step 4

Rub 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard evenly over the top of each filet mignon.

Step 5

Press the breadcrumb mixture onto the mustard-coated surface of each filet, ensuring an even layer. Gently press down so the crust adheres well.

Step 6

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add canola oil. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, place the filets crust-side up into the skillet. Sear for 2-3 minutes on the bottom side until a golden-brown crust forms.

Step 7

Using tongs, carefully flip each filet to briefly sear the edges for 1-2 minutes (avoid disturbing the breadcrumb crust).

Step 8

Turn the filets back to crust-side up and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 9

Roast in the oven for 6-8 minutes for medium-rare or longer depending on your desired doneness (use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature: 125°F for medium-rare, 135°F for medium).

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the oven and place the filets on a plate. Top each filet with a small pat of butter and loosely tent with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes to let the juices redistribute.

Step 11

Serve the mustard-crusted filet mignon alongside your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes.
