1. Take your filets out of the refrigerator and pat dry with a paper towel. Season all sides with some salt and pepper and set aside.
2. Prepare the cast iron over medium-high heat and add butter. Let melt and add in the thyme and rosemary. Once the melted butter starts to smoke, add in your filets.
3. Depending on the temperature you want the inside to reach, you'll want to cook the steaks as close to the same amount of time on each side. For medium, you're looking at about 4-5 minutes on both sides. For rarer steaks, cut down the temperature 1 minute both sides and for well done steaks, you'll want to add 2 or more minutes depending on the thickness of the steak. Checking the temperature with a digital thermometer will be the easiest way to verify the doneness.
4. To help caramelize and cook the steaks evenly, use a spoon and scoop up some of the butter and drizzle it on top of the steaks continuously as they're cooking. Slightly lifting the pan will help the butter pool in one spot to easily scoop the butter.
