Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- In a medium skillet, heat the canola oil until it is very hot.
- A cast iron frying pan, if you have one, works particularly well.
- Season the filets with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Sauté the filets briefly on each side in the hot oil, about 1 minute per side. Just get them nice and brown.
- Place the pan with the filets directly into the oven and roast for about 5-7 minutes for medium rare.
- Type of steak, oil, seasonings and degree of doneness are all up to your individual taste.
