Ingredients

4	tablespoons	butter	softened
2	tablespoons	shallots	finely minced
1	teaspoon	tarragon leaves
12	ounces	beef, filet mignon
1	x	salt	to taste
1	x	black pepper	to taste
1	teaspoon	olive oil

Directions

TO PREPARE THE TARRAGON BUTTER: Saute the shallots in 1 teaspoon butter for 3-4 minutes, or until beginning to brown. Stir into the remaining butter, along with the tarragon. Divide into two mounds; flatten between sheets of wax paper. Place in the freezer.

TO COOK THE STEAKS: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat the oil in a cast-iron skillet or oven-proof pan over high heat. Salt and pepper the filets. Brown on all sides. Put the pan in the oven; bake for 5 minutes (for medium-rare). Let the steaks rest several hours before serving. When ready to serve, top with Tarragon Butter.

Reviews

I followed the recipe as directed, but, by the time I allowed the steaks to rest for several hours, my guests were so drunk that I had to ask them to leave. And, the steaks were so cold that the tarragon butter would not melt. However, they tasted great the next day! Thanks, CrockPot Carlo
