600–800 g fillet mignon ½ packet thyme 3 cloves garlic salt and pepper butter and oil for frying

Directions

Trim the fillet mignon and slice into steaks. Heat a frying pan with a little oil. Add the thyme and garlic to the pan together with a knob of butter. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Place the meat in the pan and sear it on all sides and baste with the fat at the same time. This should be sufficient cooking for a medium steak. If you want the meat to be more thoroughly cooked, place it in the oven until done to your satisfaction.
