Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F/ 204 C

  2. Season each steak with coarse sea salt and pepper.

  3. Heat up a large skillet on a stovetop burner on medium-high heat. Melt expeller-pressed coconut oil evenly in the pan and then add the steaks.

  4. Sear the steaks on one side without turning for 3 minutes.

  5. Using tongs, turn over each filet and sear the other side for an additional 3 minutes.

  6. Remove the skillet from the heat and place the filets in a shallow baking pan.

  7. Add the butter and crushed garlic to the still-hot skillet.

  8. When the butter is melted and slightly browned by the residual heat of the pan (about 1 minute), drizzle the butter/garlic mixture over the filets in the baking pan.

  9. Bake the steaks in the oven for 7 minutes for medium-rare steaks and 8 minutes for medium steaks.

  10. Remove from the oven promptly and serve immediately.

Recipe Notes

Substitute 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder for the two cloves if desired.
