Steak with a new Flavor: Filet Mignon with Herb Butter

Ingredients:

• 4 tsp butter, softened
• 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme, or dried
• 1 tsp chopped fresh tarragon, or dried
• 1 tsp chopped chives
• 1 tsp grated lemon zest
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 4 (3oz) filet mignons, 1/2 inch thick, trimmed
• 1/8 tsp ground black pepper

Make 4 servings

1. With a fork, mash together the butter, thyme, tarragon, chives, lemon zest and 1/4 tsp of the salt in a cup, set aside.
2. Sprinkle the beef with the remaining 1/2 tsp salt and the pepper. Spray a large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray; set over medium-high heat. Add the beef; cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the side of a steak registers 145 F for medium, about 4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a platter and top each steak with one-fourth of the herb butter.
