SPICY FILET MIGNON

I adapted this recipe from a seasoning I saw for blackened catfish. Because these steaks have a lot of kick, I make a more mellow side dish, like buttered potatoes or grilled fresh vegetables. -Vera Kobiako, Jupiter, Florida

Tips:

Choose high-quality filet mignon steaks. Look for steaks that are at least 1 inch thick and have good marbling.
Season the steaks liberally with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance their flavor.
Sear the steaks in a hot skillet until they are browned on all sides. This will help to create a nice crust and lock in the juices.
Reduce the heat and cook the steaks to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, cook the steaks for about 5-7 minutes per side. For medium, cook the steaks for about 7-9 minutes per side. For medium-well, cook the steaks for about 9-11 minutes per side.
Let the steaks rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the steaks.
Serve the steaks with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, asparagus, or grilled vegetables.
