Beef Filet with Chive Butter
When it comes to grilled steaks, it's hard to beat these tender filet mignons topped with a dab of butter seasoned with chives, garlic, and pepper.
Ingredients
-
Chive butter:
-
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) salted butter, softened
-
1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives
-
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
-
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
-
Pinch red-pepper flakes
-
Filet and marinade:
-
4 beef filet mignon, about 1-1/2 pounds total
-
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
-
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1/8 teaspoon salt
-
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
1.
In a small bowl, combine butter, chives, pepper, garlic powder and red-pepper flakes until evenly blended. Transfer to plastic wrap and shape into a 3-inch-long log. Wrap to seal; refrigerate 30 minutes or until firm.
2.
Prepare outdoor grill with medium-hot coals, or heat gas grill to medium-high. In a shallow dish, season meat with Worcestershire sauce, then sprinkle both sides with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.
3.
Grill filets for 4 minutes per side, or until internal temperature registers 135 degrees F in the thickest part of the meat for medium.
4.
Once meat is cooked, remove filets from grill. Let rest 5 minutes. Meanwhile, remove chive butter from the fridge and cut into thin slices. Top each filet with 1 to 2 butter slices and serve warm. Serve with steak fries and quartered tomatoes, if desired.
