a. Pat the beef fillets dry with a paper towel.
b. Rub the fillets with 2 teaspoons of black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides.
2. Heat the Pan:
a. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it’s shimmering.
3. Cook the Beef Fillets:
a. Add the beef fillets to the hot skillet.
b. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
c. Once cooked, remove the fillets from the skillet and let them rest on a plate. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
4. Cook the Cherry Tomatoes:
a. Add a short spray of cooking spray oil to the same skillet.
b. Add the 2 cups of cherry tomatoes to the pan.
c. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the tomatoes are blistered and softened.

Tips:

- Allow the beef fillets to come to room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking.

- Use a meat thermometer to check that the beef reaches your desired doneness (e.g., 130°F for medium-rare).

- To get a perfect sear on the beef, make sure the skillet is hot before adding the fillets.

- Don't overcrowd the skillet; cook the beef in batches if necessary to maintain high heat and achieve a good sear.

- Let the beef rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute.

- Consider adding a splash of balsamic vinegar to the arugula for an extra layer of flavor.

- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
