This incredible Sous Vide (Medium Rare) Filet Mignon with Butter and Garlic is the perfect meal for date night! What I love about the sous vide method is that you can "set it and forget it." Throw this steak in your water bath while you focus on your side dishes. Some creamy parmesan risotto and broccolini would be perfect. Mmmm... can you taste it now? Dreamy.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 qty Filet Mignon steaks
- 3 T Butter
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 T Olive oil
- ½ T Coarse Salt (or more to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare sous vide water bath and set temperature to 136 degrees F (for medium rare).
- Season steaks with salt and place each one separately into a BPA-free resealable plastic bag with a little olive oil. It is important to remove as much air as possible from the bag.
- Completely immerse steaks into the preheated water bath and cook for 1.5hrs - 3hrs.
- Remove steaks from the bag, then blot them with a paper towel to dry them completely. Season both sides generously with coarse sea salt.
- In a cast iron skillet on medium high heat, sear steaks for 1-2 minutes on each side in a little olive oil. Remove steaks from the burner quickly, then add butter and one clove of garlic. Tilt pan and spoon garlic infused butter over the top of the steak. (Be careful not to burn the garlic).
- Remove steaks and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving (and cutting).
