Ingredients

  • 1 lb Beef tenderloin steaks 4oz portions
  • 4 tbsp Montreal steak seasoning or comparable brand
  • 1 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 4 cloves Garlic whole
  • 8 sprigs Fresh thyme
  • 4 slices Crusty bread
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Season the steaks generously on both sides with steak seasoning and salt.
  • Preheat a cast iron skillet or heavy bottom non-stick pan over medium heat.
  • Add the oil into the pan once hot. Place the steak into the pan and sear for about 2 minutes per side so they have a nice char.
  • Add in the butter, garlic, and thyme.
  • Continue cooking the steaks while using a spoon to baste them over the top with the butter until they reach your desired temperature using a thermometer (see below). If desiring more than medium doneness it is recommended to finish the steak in a 350°F oven so that the outside doesn't burn.
  • Remove the steak from the heat and allow to rest for 2-3 minutes before serving with crusty bread.
