Sear and finish the filet
Heat a heavy skillet over high heat and add neutral oil. Sear the filet for 2-3 minutes on the first side, then flip and sear 1-2 minutes on the second side. Transfer to a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven and roast to your preferred doneness (about 4-6 minutes for medium-rare). Remove and rest for 5 minutes.
