Prepare the Filet Mignon
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the filet mignon with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the filet mignon for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer to the oven and roast for an additional 5-7 minutes for medium-rare.

Make the Hollandaise Sauce
In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl over simmering water, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Slowly drizzle in the melted butter while whisking continuously until the sauce thickens. Season with salt to taste.
