Classic Beef Filet Mignon with Red Wine Sauce

Ingredients:

• 2 Beef Filet Mignon steaks (6-8 oz each)
• Salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup shallots, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 1/2 cup red wine
• Fresh thyme sprigs
• Fresh rosemary sprigs

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Season the Beef Filet Mignon steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over high heat.
4. Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a nice crust.
5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare doneness.
6. Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the steaks to a plate. Tent them with foil and let them rest while you prepare the sauce.
