Filet Mignon

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filet Mignon

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the filet mignon steaks with olive oil, salt, and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Steaks

    In an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, sear the steaks for about 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms.

  3. 3

    Finish in the Oven

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes for medium-rare or until desired doneness is reached.

  4. 4

    Make the Agave Queso Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, agave nectar, diced jalapeños, garlic powder, and a splash of water. Stir until smooth and creamy.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove steaks from the oven, let them rest for a few minutes. Serve with the agave queso sauce on the side, garnished with chopped cilantro.
