I was so scared to make a steak on the oven instead of a grill. (I have a grill, but it is still a little chilly here to be cooking outside) My boyfriend just got home from a business trip in China and I wanted to make him something special. I was really pleased with the result .. And he was really impressed :)

Steps

15 mins

1

Apply both sides of the Filet Mignon with generous amounts of salt and pepper. (You cannot have too much because this will create the crust.)
2

Heat the skillet in high for 2-3 minutes before adding the steak.
3

Add one tablespoon of olive oil then immediately add steak.
4

Cook on each side for 2-3 minutes until it easily pulls off the pan. (This means the steak is properly seared.)
5

After searing the top and the bottom dear the sides for 2-3 minutes each.

Final product :) this will be a medium rare. If you like a more well done steak stick it in the oven on 500°F for 2-3 minutes.
