The broiler makes preparing this steak easy, with flavorful, tender results. The beauty of this dish is that it’s very easy to customize the steaks to fit your or your guests’ palates by rubbing on different combinations of dried herbs. Before seasoning the filets with the herb mixture, pat the steak dry on both sides; dry steaks brown better in the oven than wet steaks. Pay close attention to the thickness of each one. Ideally, each steak would be similar in thickness so that they cook evenly and are ready at the same time. You may need to adjust your cooking times if the filets vary in thickness.
