Step 1
Start by taking your filet mignon out of the refrigerator. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Step 2
Grab a heavy skillet and pour in some olive oil. Heat it over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

Step 3
Carefully place the filet mignon in the hot skillet. Let them sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for a perfect medium-rare.

Step 4
Add the unsalted butter, minced garlic, and fresh herbs to the skillet. As the butter melts, use a spoon to baste the steaks with that rich garlic butter.

Step 5
Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
