Filet Mignon with Fresh Herb and Garlic Rub
Ingredients
2 teaspoons garlic, minced (I used two cloves)
1 1⁄2 teaspoons fresh basil, minced
1 1⁄2 teaspoons fresh thyme, minced
1 1⁄2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, minced
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
4 (1-inch thick) beef tenderloin steaks, trimmed (a.k.a. filet mignon)
Cooking spray
Instructions
1. Combine first 6 ingredients in a small bowl; rub evenly over steaks.
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add steaks to pan, and cook 4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Let steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving.

The picture does not do the food justice; I’m still learning the great art of food photography. (Photo Updated: 1/28/2012) This is another recipe from Cooking Light. It’s nice and simple and yields a tender and flavorful piece of filet mignon. Thanks to an amazing local butcher, we tend to get filet mignon rather often, and I’m always on the look-out for new ways to prepare it.
