Having a small holiday meal at home doesn’t mean you can’t do something extra special! If you’re hosting a smaller crew, try this porcini-crusted filet mignon (and if you enjoy 🍷, pair it with something you love!).

It has a rich, umami flavor from dried porcini mushrooms that beautifully complements the tender beef. Effortlessly simple every time!

Full recipe below! ❤️ SAVE for later!

INGREDIENTS
• 4 (6-8 oz) filet mignon steaks, about 2” thick
• ½ oz dried porcini mushrooms
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 Tbsp neutral oil, such as grapeseed
• 3-4 sprigs of fresh rosemary
• Flaky sea salt, for serving

INSTRUCTIONS
1️⃣ Make the compound butter. Preheat an oven to 425F. In a small bowl, combine 4 Tbsp softened butter, 2 Tbsp chives, 2 Tbsp chopped rosemary, 1 garlic clove, finely chopped, and ½ tsp Kosher salt. Mix well. If you want to get fancy, you can wrap this into a log shape with plastic wrap, then refrigerate (or freeze quickly), then cut into rounds to go on top of the cooked steaks.
2️⃣ Grind the dried porcinis. Place dried porcinis in a spice grinder or small food processor, then process until very finely ground. Pour out onto a small plate.
3️⃣ Season the steaks. Season each filet generously on both sides with plenty of Kosher salt and black pepper, then press both sides gently into the finely ground porcinis.
4️⃣ Sear the steaks.  Preheat a large cast iron skillet over high heat until it just begins to smoke. Add 2 Tbsp of neutral oil and remaining 2 Tbsp of butter, then carefully add the crusted steaks. Cook for 3 minutes per side, then add a few sprigs of rosemary and transfer the skillet to the oven to cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until medium-rare. The internal temperature of the steak should be about 130F, as it will continue to cook as it rests. The target end temperature should be 135-140F.
5️⃣ Serve warm with butter. Remove the steaks from the skillet, then tent loosely with aluminum foil. Allow steaks to rest for about 5-10 minutes, then serve immediately with a pinch of flaky sea salt and a generous dollop of butter on top. Garnish with additional chives, if desired.
