Ruth's Chris Filet Mignon Recipe

You start by seasoning your filets generously with salt and pepper, then give them a good brush with olive oil.             For that signature Ruth's Chris touch, use a tough skillet to sear the steaks to golden-brown perfection on both sides.
Make sure your oven is preheated and ready to finish off the steaks to your desired doneness.
My favorite part is basting the filets with a blend of melted butter, thyme, and garlic.
This key step not only locks in the juicy flavors but also gives the steak that rich, buttery finish we all love.
Serve immediately for an unforgettable steakhouse experience at your own dining table!
