Filet Mignon

Crab Topping

Method

Preparing the Filet Mignon

  1. 1

    Sear the Filet

    Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the filet mignon generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Add Olive Oil

    Add olive oil to the skillet. Once the oil is hot, place the filet in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness.

  3. 3

    Baste with Butter

    Add butter and fresh rosemary to the skillet during the last minute of cooking. Use a spoon to baste the filet with the melted butter.

  4. 4

    Rest the Meat

    Remove the filet from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Preparing the Crab Topping

  1. 5

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine the fresh lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and Old Bay seasoning. Gently fold the ingredients together to avoid breaking up the crab meat.

  2. 6

    Add Chives

    Finely chop the chives and fold them into the crab mixture.

  3. 7

    Top the Filet

    Once the filet has rested, generously top each filet with the crab mixture before serving.
