FILET ESSENTIALS: PAN-SEARED BEEF FILET
A quick sear in a hot, skillet is all you need for an elegant repast. To me this dish is all about flavor, and it's all about presentation. I love to serve this recipe with some garlic mash potatoes, a nice sauce, some matchstick carrots on top, and if you you're being decadent, maybe a knob of herb butter. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Steps:
- PREP/PREPARE
- Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
- Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 425f (220c).
- Sprinkle the filet with salt and pepper.
- Add the oil and butter to an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
- When the butter melts, and the foaming subsides, add the filet.
- Sear about two minutes per side.
- Place the skillet into the preheated oven, for 5 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, and allow to cool for five minutes.
- PLATE/PRESENT
- Serve with some garlic mash potatoes, and maybe a veggie. Enjoy.
- Chef's Note: When I'm doing filets, I avoid putting cheese or other ingredients into my mash potatoes; just some baked garlic, salt, pepper and milk. I don't want the side dishes to overpower the taste of that wonderful filet.
- Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
