1
Season the Meat
Pat the filet mignon dry with paper towels. Rub each piece with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
2
Sear the Filet
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned filet mignon to the skillet. Sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Remove from skillet and let rest.

3
Deglaze the Pan
In the same skillet used for the filet, add the red wine to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
4
Add Broth and Butter
Add the beef broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and add butter and fresh thyme. Stir until butter is melted and sauce is slightly thickened.

5
Plate and Serve
Slice the filet mignon if desired and place on a serving plate. Drizzle with the prepared sauce and serve immediately.
