Ingredients

2 filet mignon steaks, about 12 oz total (340 g total)
4 tbsp (60 g) unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch scallions, finely sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil

Instructions

1. Season both sides of the filet mignon steaks with salt and pepper. In a heavy skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear each side for about 3-4 minutes, ensuring a nice crust forms. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking to your desired level of doneness. Remove steaks from the skillet and let them rest.
2. In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Cook the garlic until fragrant, then add the scallions. Sauté until the scallions are tender, about 2 minutes. Pour the garlic butter and scallions over the rested filet mignon before serving.
