Steps

1. Season the filet mignon with salt and pepper on both sides. 2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the filet mignon and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. 3. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a plate. 4. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cherry tomatoes. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften. 5. Pour in the red wine and add thyme. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. 6. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes until it reduces slightly. 7. Stir in the butter until melted and the sauce is glossy. 8. Serve the filet mignon topped with the red wine tomato sauce and garnish with fresh basil if desired.
