This delicious and easy to make filet mignon with roasted ripe Vine Tomatoes and Rosemary is ready in less than 20 minutes!
Filet Mignon is one of the best cuts of meat and it comes from the smaller end of the tenderloin or poses major of the cow, which makes it very tender and flavorful. By adding garlic, rosemary and butter the natural flavors of the meat are enhanced and elevated to a new level.
I love making this particular dish on special occasions and serve it with Asparagus and roasted potatoes.
Now, a few years ago while visiting good friends in Elgin, Moray (Scotland), we got into a friendly debate about how to properly season a steak. My friend Marion debated that the perfect way to cook a steak is to grill first and add the seasonings afterwards. I presented my case that a steak should be seasoned first and then grilled. We had a few laughs, as well as a few glasses of wine and spirits. In the end, it was her house and her kitchen so we enjoyed a wonderful steak dinner her way. For this recipe, we are going to do it my way... sorry Marion!

In a large cast iron skillet melt the butter with the olive oil at medium high heat.

To the skillet, add the ripe vine tomatoes, season lightly with salt and pepper, and baste with the butter. Sauté for 5 minutes.
Remove tomatoes from the heat, place them on top of the Filet Mignon Medallions, and spoon pour some of the rosemary-garlic infused butter on top.
