Ingredients
- 2-8 oz Filet Mignons Beef Tenderloins
- 1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
- ½ teaspoon Cumin
- ½ teaspoon Coriander
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Combine garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper together in a shallow dish. Rub the mixture on all sides of both filet mignons.
- Bring a medium-sized skillet (oven-proof if you have one) to medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive or canola oil to the pan. Place filet mignons in the pan and do not move them for 2 minutes. Flip them, and cook an additional 2 minutes to get a nice sear on both sides.
- Place the steaks in the oven for approximately 12 minutes (gets temperature to medium-rare after resting.) Allow steaks to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
