Ingredients

Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups fine soft bread crumbs (about 3 slices bread)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Beef

  • 4 center-cut beef filet mignons, 1 3/4 inch thick (8 oz each)
  • Salt and pepper, if desired
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard*

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    In small bowl, mix bread crumbs, 1/4 cup oil, the parsley, mint, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; set aside.
  • Step 
    2
    Adjust oven rack so top of beef will be 4 to 6 inches from heat. Set oven control to broil.
  • Step 
    3
    Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper if desired. In 10-inch ovenproof skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil and the butter over medium-high heat until butter is melted and no longer sizzles. Cook beef in oil mixture 5 minutes or until browned. Flip and cook 10 minutes longer or until brown and meat thermometer inserted in center of beef reads 145°F (medium-rare).
  • Step 
    4
    Divide mustard among beef, spreading evenly over tops. Spoon about 1/4 cup topping evenly over each filet. Use pancake turner to press down on topping so it sticks to filets. Broil 2 minutes or until bread crumbs are lightly browned.
  • Step 
    5
    Remove beef from oven and allow to stand 5 minutes before serving.
