Artificial Food Coloring Free Paleo Filet Mignon with Herb Butter

Few dinners feel as genuinely luxurious as a perfectly seared filet mignon, and this version delivers that steakhouse experience entirely from scratch with nothing but clean, whole ingredients. The herb butter is the real star alongside the beef — softened ghee whipped together with fresh parsley, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and a hint of lemon zest creates something so fragrant and rich that it melts into every crevice of the crust the moment it hits the hot steak. Because every component here is a whole food you've sourced yourself, there's zero concern about synthetic dyes or artificial additives sneaking in through a pre-made compound butter or a seasoning blend. The technique is straightforward but intentional: a screaming-hot cast iron skillet builds that deep, caramelized crust, and a quick finish in a hot oven brings the center to a precise, rosy medium-rare. Resting the steaks before serving isn't just a suggestion — it's what keeps all those juices locked in so every bite is as tender as it should be. This is the kind of meal that feels like a special occasion even on a Tuesday night.
