I decided to get into cooking recently and found your channel. Something about it just clicks extremely well with me compared to others. Well, after my first ever attempt at cooking a nice steak by following your instructions, I can now say I know.

I just cooked some filets for my wife and I, about 1" thick, for an early Valentines Day lunch, as we will have contractors working in the house tomorrow and followed this recipe with the exception of having the herbs, I was out and not much of a selection in the stores. I have been cooking for over 45 years and this is the absolute best steak I ever cooked, my wife was smiling while she was eating and they teared up, I asked what is wrong and she said I am finished with my steak. This will be my go to from now on. Normally cook ribeyes on the pit, no more. Thanks for sharing your recipe. THE BEST STEAK I HAVE EVER COOKED!!!! I've had steaks at Emirils in New Orleans, paid $70 for a filet and what I just cooked is 20X better

[@dirtyketchup]

This should have far more views. Other than Kenji's reverse sear video, this is one of the top ones I've seen. Also, I LOVE that you PAUSED to get flavor/color in the aromats and butter before continuing the cooking process, vs so many others just toss them into the pan with the steak and press on, which means they add very little.

I consider myself a pretty good cook. Learned lots of stuff during the pandemic but always struggled with cooking steaks indoors on the stove top. Even bought a cast iron and still ruined many steaks. Following this video, I can confirmly say that I just made the best steak of my life. Thanks my man! Didn't even use the cast iron and it came out perfect.

[@dirtyketchup]

Don't get too sucked into the cast iron hype. Stainless will also do very well for most steaks. I'd actually argue that cast iron is often too harsh for filet.I'd rather use it for steaks with more mass like ribeye or new york.

[@brocklowe118]

I love your videos!!!

[@joconnell]

Thanks Sonny! How would you deal with a thinner steak like a flatiron that takes about 2 minutes a side? With your fillet, was it fully cooked at your resting point and you’re just reheating / basting when you put it back in at low with the aromatics? Also I found that when I used avocado oil for the first time on a steel pan at high heat, it turned to smoke the second it hit the pan! I was expecting it to be a way higher point and similar to canola but it totally blew up my smoke alarms :D
