another 3-4 minutes or until cooked through, depending on your taste. Use an instant-read meat thermometer
to ensure cooking accuracy.
Remove the pot from the heat and place a heaping tablespoon of herb butter on each fillet and let it melt. Cover
the pan loosely with aluminum foil.Baste the steaks with the fat for about 10 minutes. Then top each fillet with
another tablespoon of mixed butter, slice and serve.
Notes
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking.
A cast iron skillet works really well for this recipe. It is a heavy pan that retains heat well and allows the steaks to
cook evenly. Since the juices don’t flow through a grate like on a grill, they burn in their own juices, resulting in a
truly delicious steak.

compound butter can be made up to five days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the
refrigerator.For the best flavor, choose fillets with good color and lots of marbling.
This recipe pairs well with other cuts of meat such as ribs, steak, clam steak, and filet mignon medallions.
Fresh herbs taste better, but dried herbs are better than no herbs at all.
Use an instant-read meat thermometer to cook your steak to your desired doneness with utmost accuracy.
This recipe makes 4 steaks. So if you don’t have 2 cast iron skillets or a cast iron griddle, you’ll need to cook in 2
batches.Or you can simply halve the recipe and make 2 fillets.
Always let steaks rest for 8 to 10 minutes. This is a good time to brush the fillets and drizzle with the herb butter.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
