Herb-Coated Filet Mignon

From EatingWell: EatingWell Serves Two

It doesn't get much easier than this. If you can turn on your broiler, chop some herbs and open a jar of mustard then you have a simple and elegant dish. Turn it into a meal by adding sauteed spinach and half a baked potato with reduced-fat sour cream and prepared horseradish.

Ingredients

8 ounces filet mignon, about 2 inches thick, trimmed of fat and cut into 2 portions
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons chopped mixed fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, chervil, tarragon and/or thyme
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Preparation

Preheat broiler.
Rub steaks with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on a rack on a broiler pan.
Broil until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the steak registers 140°F for medium-rare, 15 to 20 minutes total, turning once halfway through cooking. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest for 5 minutes.
Place herbs on a plate. Coat the edges of the steaks evenly with mustard; then roll the edges in the herbs, pressing gently to adhere.
