Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Rub the filet mignon with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Cooking Surface

    Preheat a skillet or grill over high heat until it is very hot.

  4. 4

    Cook the Steak

    Place the filet mignon on the hot skillet or grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it, until a nice crust forms. Flip the steak and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare or longer to reach your desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Add Butter and Herbs

    In the last minute of cooking, add butter and fresh rosemary to the pan. Baste the steak with the melted butter using a spoon.

  6. 6

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Slice and serve the filet mignon with your choice of sides.
