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

This is an excellent dish. I put in 1 lb. of ground beef and 1 package of rigatoni and substituted 2 green bell peppers instead of mushrooms. I added one can of diced Italian tomatoes. Came out great. Makes a lot, but is very good.
