PARMESAN CRUSTED FILET MIGNON RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• 1.

  Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Coat a 10-inch cast iron skillet with olive oil and heat over medium-high heat.

• 2.

  Add garlic, butter, panko, and Parmesan cheese to a small bowl. Mash mixture together using a fork until well combined; set aside.

• 3.

  Pat each filet dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Add steaks to hot cast iron. Sear for 4 minutes, or until deeply browned on one side. Flip; remove cast iron from heat.

• 4.

  Divide panko mixture evenly between filets, patting down slightly to adhere to steaks. Place cast iron in oven and bake about 5 minutes until steaks reach desired doneness, 130 degrees for medium-rare, and 145 degrees for medium, and panko mixture has browned. Remove from oven and serve garnished with fresh parsley, if desired.
