Sprinkle filets liberally with salt and pepper

Coat with cocoa powder

Using an oven safe saute pan, get the pan hot, add a bit of canola oil, let the oil get hot, add the fillets and leave them alone. When the fillets start to come loose they will have good color, flip them and slide the pan in the preheated 375?F oven. 5-6 minutes in the oven will get you rare, 6-8 medium, 8-12 well done. Remember, this is an estimate, if you buy super thick fillets they will take longer. The more firm they are to the touch means they are more done, for medium it should be starting to firm but still have some give in the middle. Lots of give means it's more rare.

Let it rest for atleast 5 minutes before you enjoy this dish. As you can imagine, it pairs really well with a luscious, full bodied, spicy Merlot or Petite Syrah. Cheers!
