INGREDIENTS
Filet Mignon:
1 Tbsp. Butter
Flavored Butter:
4 oz. Salted Butter, room temperature
½ tsp. Curry Powder
2 Garlic Cloves, minced
½ tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
1 Tbsp. Fresh Herbs (parsley, tarragon)
LET'S GET COOKING!
In a small bowl, beat butter until light and airy. Add curry powder, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, fresh herbs and mix. Place in a plastic wrap and roll into a cylinder, twisting the ends to seal. Refrigerate until ready-to- use.
Heat butter in a sauté pan over medium high heat. When sizzling, sear the filet mignon on one side for 2 minutes. Turn, lower heat to medium and continue cooking for 2 additional minutes. Turn again on the other side and continue cooking for another 1 -1 ½ minutes or until it reaches 125°F-130°F for medium-rare.*
Place a slice of flavored butter on top of each filet mignon and serve.
*USDA recommends cooking beef to a minimum internal temperature of 145°F
