Filet Mignon & Scallop Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Pat the filet mignon and scallops dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the filet mignon with salt and black pepper. Mince the garlic.

2. 2

   Sear the Filet Mignon

   In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the filet mignon and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let it rest.

3. 3

   Sear the Scallops

   In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once hot, add the scallops and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and opaque. Add minced garlic during the last minute of cooking.

4. 4

   Add Finishing Touches

   Remove the scallops from the skillet and add lemon juice and the remaining butter. Stir until melted and combine with the pan juices.

5. 5

   Serve

   Slice the filet mignon and serve alongside the scallops. Drizzle the lemon-butter sauce over both, and garnish with fresh parsley.
