Cast Iron Steak Filets + Butter Lettuce Salad with Mustard Vinaigrette + Whole Roasted Garlic

Cast Iron Steak Filets

Ingredients

  • 2 6 Oz Beef Filets Room Temperature
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • Kosher Salt & Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat a medium cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. While pan is heating, coat the filets on all sides with Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon canola oil, salt and pepper. Add the remaining tablespoon of canola oil to the pan and tilt to fully coat the bottom. Add the filets and cook until a crust forms on the bottom, 3 minutes. Flip and let cook on the other side for 4 more minutes. 
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until a meat thermometer inserted in the center of the filets reads 130 degrees F for medium-rare, 4 to 5 minutes.
    Transfer the filets to a serving platter.
