I almost feel like a recipe like this is cheating - it's just delicious and you really don't need much. With a quality piece of steak you need pretty much nothing to enjoy a delectable meal in no time! That rich cheesy buttery topping made my eyes roll back a time or two. Serve this up with a big beautiful salad, or your favorite roasted veggies and you'll have a special and incredibly easy meal ready in no time! 

Parmesan Crusted Filet

Ingredients

1 TBS olive oil

1 TBS minced garlic

2 TBS butter, softened

2 TBS. Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

2 (5-oz. each) filet mignon steaks

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. 
2. Sprinkle both sides of the steak with salt and pepper and allow to rest while you prepare the butter.
3. In a small bowl, stir together the softened butter, garlic, and Parmesan cheese.
4. Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet.
5. When hot, sear the seasoned steaks for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Then flip and divide the butter mixture between the two steaks, evenly over the top.
6. Bake in preheated oven for 5 minutes, or until cooked through to your preferred doneness and butter mixture has begun to melt.
