Filet Mignon with Sergio’s Seasoning
Filet Mignon with Sergio’s Seasoning is one of our favorite steak dinners. I start this easy and healthy steak dinner by cooking some tender and delicious filet mignon. Then, I make a rich and delicious basil butter to top the steaks. We like this meal for several reasons. First of all, I like that I can make this entire steak supper in just thirty minutes. Secondly, I like that this dinner is easy enough to make on a busy weeknight, but fancy enough to serve to guests. Thirdly, I like that this meal uses fresh basil and lemons. It’s like springtime on a plate. And, lastly, we all love the tender steak and buttery topping.
THE EQUIPMENT I USED
- Two Cast Iron Skillets- I like to cook my steaks in a cast iron skillet. But you can use any skillet.
- An Instant Read Meat Thermometer- I highly recommend using this to check the temperature of your meat. I used the excellent ThermoMaven meat thermometer.
THE INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR FILET MIGNON WITH SERGIO’S SEASONING
- Filet Mignon- I used filet mignon, but you can use any steak that you like. Filet mignon happened to be on sale at my market. Otherwise, I might have used a different steak.
- Lemons- Be sure to use fresh lemon juice for this Filet Mignon with Sergio’s Seasoning.
- Basil- Wash your basil well as it can often be sandy.
- Butter- Use cold butter to stir into the sauce. Make sure it is unsalted butter.
