"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Ingredients:  
2 filet mignons, around 6 oz. each
Salt and pepper to taste
4 Tbsp. butter
4-5 sprigs fresh thyme
1 sprig fresh rosemary
Directions:
Directions:
Take filets out of the refrigerator and pat dry with a paper towel. Season all sides with some salt and pepper and set aside.

Prepare the cast iron pan over medium-high heat and add butter. Let melt and add in the thyme and rosemary. Once the melted butter starts to smoke, add in your filets.

Depending on the temperature you want the inside to reach, you'll want to cook the steaks as close to the same amount of time on each side. For medium, you're looking at about 4-5 minutes on both sides. For rarer steaks, cut down the temperature 1 minute both sides and for well done steaks, you'll want to add 2 or more minutes depending on the thickness of the steak. Checking the temperature with a digital thermometer will be the easiest way to verify the doneness.
