Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather ingredients and prepare a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.

  3. Transfer seared steaks to the baking sheet and roast in the oven for 4-6 minutes for medium-rare or 6-8 minutes for medium.
  4. Remove steaks from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes on a cutting board.
  5. In the same skillet used for searing, add red wine and bring to a boil, scraping up browned bits. Reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Stir in butter, minced shallots, and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until shallots are translucent.
  7. Adjust salt and pepper in the sauce. Pour over sliced filet mignon and garnish with chopped parsley or chives before serving.
