  1. 1

    Prepare the Filet

    Take the filet mignon out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

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

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a cast-iron skillet or frying pan over high heat until it's very hot.

  4. 4

    Sear the Filets

    Add the filets to the hot pan and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Add Aromatics

    During the last minute of cooking, add the fresh rosemary sprigs to the pan for added flavor.

  6. 6

    Rest the Meat

    Remove the filets from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
