Ina Garten’s cooking philosophy centers around enhancing natural flavors, and her technique for cooking filet mignon exemplifies this with the simple addition of butter to elevate the steak's richness.
By lightly coating the filet mignon with oil, salt, and pepper and searing it in a preheated cast-iron pan for 10 minutes, Garten keeps the cooking method easy yet effective.
The trick of adding a tablespoon of butter on top of the steak before finishing it in the oven creates a luxurious coating that amplifies the dish without overwhelming its natural flavors.
Resting the cooked filet for 10 minutes allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is tender and flavorful, all while being paired with a simple arugula salad.
