Pan Fried Steaks with Garlic Butter

Thank you Mums The Word

2 (8 ounce) Filet Mignon steaks
4 teaspoons salt
4 teaspoons pepper
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened, divided
1 Tablespoon olive oil
2 Tablespoons Garlic Paste

• Turn oven on to 400* F
• In a small bowl combine 1/4 cup of butter and garlic paste. 
• Place into fridge to harden.
• Place other 1/4 cup of butter and olive oil into pan and heat on high.
• Generously salt and pepper each side of the steaks.
• Once pan is searing hot, place steaks in it and cook 2-3 minutes per side.
• As steaks are cooking, continuously spoon butter oil on top of steaks.
• Once both sides are seared, place hot skillet and steaks into the oven and cook for 6 - 8 minutes for a medium rare steak (depending on how thick steak is).
• If you desire a less rare steak, cook longer about 15 minutes 
• Remove from oven and spoon a generous size portion of garlic butter on top.
