This was tonight's dinner. It was totally excellent.
At my website it is called something different. 

Anyway, it was very simple and absolutely terrific. 3
minutes searing on each side and then 8 minutes in a
425 degree oven and it was still juicy and medium rare
inside. Yum. Plus those slices of jalapeno in the
slits in the meat was an excellent idea - got a bite
of chile with every bite.

   2                    filet mignons
                        Marinade:
   1 1/2  tb            lime juice
   1 1/2  tb            extra-virgin olive oil
   2      cloves        garlic -- thinly sliced
   1                    jalapeno -- thinly sliced
   1      ts            ground chile
   1      ts            ground cumin
     1/2  ts            Mexican oregano -- crumbled
                        salt

In small bowl, combine marinade ingredients.

Place filets in a casserole dish. Rub the marinade
over it. Cut some slits in the meat and put some of
the jalapeno and garlic slivers in the slits. Cover
and marinate for 2 hours, or more.

When ready to cook, preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
When hot, put meat in a preheated cast iron skillet
over MED-HIGH heat. Cook for 3 minutes per side. Then
place skillet in oven and roast meat for 8 minutes (or
6 minutes depending on how thick the meat is). If you
want it medium-rare, this will do. If you want it just
medium, then 1 minute more. I don't cook it further
than that. I like it slightly red and juicy. 

Remove from oven. Let meat sit, in a shallow pan, for
a few minutes. Then serve.

Serve with corn on the cob and cole slaw.

Note: For low carbers, omit the side of corn on the
cob. Substitute another side dish. My son and hubby
loved the corn, I loved the slaw and ate it all!
