Steps

1
Pat the filet dry and salt all sides, including the edges. A thick filet needs the sides seared too.
2
Heat a cast iron skillet on high until it just starts to smoke.
3
Sear 2.5 minutes per side, then stand it on each edge for 30 seconds to crust the sides.
4
Drop the heat, add the butter, and baste over the top for 60 seconds.
5
Rest 5 minutes. Filet is lean and tender, so it cuts with a fork and does not need a knife.
