Mustard Free Paleo Filet Mignon with Herb Butter

Few cuts of beef feel as special-occasion as filet mignon, and this version delivers that steakhouse experience entirely from your own kitchen. The technique here is straightforward but precise — a screaming-hot cast iron sear followed by a quick oven roast locks in a deep, caramelized crust while keeping the center perfectly tender and rosy. What really elevates the whole dish is the herb butter: softened ghee whipped together with fresh parsley, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and a hint of lemon zest, melting luxuriously over the steak the moment it hits the plate. Because the recipe relies on clean, whole-food ingredients from start to finish, there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about condiment-based marinades sneaking in unwanted additives. Avocado oil and ghee do all the heavy lifting in the fat department, making this naturally grain-free and entirely in line with paleo eating without any compromise on richness or flavor. It's the kind of dinner that looks like it took hours but comes together with just a handful of fresh herbs and a good thermometer.
