I leave it on the burner at high for 4 or 5 minutes. You want it so hot you can't even touch the handle. Bring filets to room temperature. Liberal salt and pepper both sides. Sear each side about 3 minutes and then put skillet into a 400 degree oven about 5 minutes. Top with garlic butter and remove from oven. Internal temp should be 120 degrees. Rest for about 5 minutes. Ready to serve at medium rare.

I also do another I really like called a black forest filet. Cook the same way but after being in the oven for about 4 minutes, remove and slice almost all the way through and stuff with Stilltion cheese. Return for another minute so cheese melts. Remove and rest, top filet with garlic butter and crab meat and serve with a black cherry and red wine reduction sauce. Delicious
