Cast Iron Seared Filets With Compound Butter

Cast Iron Seared Filets With Compound Butter

Love restaurant house style steaks? Then you are going to LOVE this recipe! Cast iron steak is the best way to prepare your steaks. I particularly love topping it with compound butter! You can add any combo of herbs/garlic that you love. I like to add chopped garlic, rosemary, parsley and dill. I also like to make a side dish of green beans and definitely popovers!
