Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large shallots
- 2 large garlic cloves
- Four 6-ounce beef filets, brought to room temperature
- 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 tablespoons canola oil
- Kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Toss the shallots and garlic with 1 tablespoon olive oil to coat, wrap in a foil packet, and place on a baking tray. Roast until the shallots are tender and the garlic is golden, about 30 minutes. Cool slightly, then finely chop the roasted shallots and garlic.
- While the vegetables roast, heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Brush all sides of the beef filets with 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce and 2 tablespoons canola oil, then season with salt and pepper. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons canola oil to the hot pan, tilting to coat the surface. Add the filets and cook undisturbed until a deep brown crust forms on the bottom, about 3 minutes; flip and cook the other side about 4 minutes.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a filet reads 130F for medium-rare, about 45 minutes. Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the steaks to a warm plate to rest.
- Return the skillet to the stove over medium-low heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, then stir in the chopped roasted shallots and garlic. Cook 12 minutes until heated through and coated in the pan juices. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed, then spoon the shallotgarlic mixture over the rested filets before serving.
