Filet Mignon With Arugula Salad image

Yet to try this, but I am dying to! I received some Omaha Steaks for Christmas and am looking for a way to cook the tenderloins in the kitchen and not on the grill (darn winter!) I am posting this for safekeeping, but feel free to try it out. This is from Cooking Light Jan/Feb 2009 edition. Enjoy!
