Prepare the Sea Scallops

Cook the Filet Mignon
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the filet mignon pieces. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Once cooked to your liking, remove from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Cook the Sea Scallops
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. When the butter has melted and is bubbling, add the sea scallops. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they are golden brown and opaque in the center. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
